Celebrating a Free India!

A poem celebrating a free India! Happy Independence Day!

Disintegrate you will, they said,
Your diversity baffled many a soul.
Defying the gloom, you surged ahead,
As you continue to be on a roll!

Faced with challenges one by one,
Language, caste, religion, and war.
Unity in diversity has always won,
Yea, that's the Indian way of yore.

The story of your birth does have pain,
Yet, it continues to inspire the world.
A bittersweet, it may very well remain,
Lest we forget, as the flag's unfurled.

A beautiful land steeped in history,
Your spirit has endured many a storm.
What makes you tick is still a mystery,
Our notion of nations, you transform!
