I ran down a fantasy land,
Found nothing other than a magic wand.
Made a wish to have a glimpse of,
The India I would for sure boast off.

What I saw was a reflection of deeply rooted glorious past,
The hearts of people without any wall of caste.
To the extent my vision could reach,
I could see just peace.

Women were thought worthy of praise,
Birth of a girl was not considered a disgrace.
Children were shown the way to schools,
To fight abuse was in the set of rules.

Prosperity was in her destiny,
The country had friends many.
Life appeared to have a purpose,
It was not to be made a fuss.

However it turned out to be a dream,
But best out of the ones I had seen.
Indeed it is the India of my vision,
To make it obvious to all is my mission.

Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳🇮🇳

We call upon your blessings on India Oh Almighty!
