Before our Independence,

India was known as 'The Golden Bird', Because of its Wealth;


Then, suddenly, the foreign people stole it;

Treating India and Indians as

Their slaves;


India, or, our beloved 'Bharat' gives us joy;


When you see the tri-colour flag swaying gently in the air;

How do you feel?

One feels proud and mesmerised by the sight;


The national flag is an important part of Republic Day and Independence day;

Celebrating these festivals with joy is not a formality;

It's a whole, beautiful emotion!


But, India doesn't only celebrate these festivals;

It celebrates all festivals of all religions and all castes;

India has set an example for other countries in the world as well;

So many festivals, and so many colours;

Everyone loves the country from the bottom of their hearts;



Holi, Baisakhi, Pongal, Onam;

All related to the first growth and cultivation of fresh crops from the fields;

Diwali, Eid, Christmas;

All related to tremendous celebrations and tremendous happiness;



India got its incredible name from

The name of another river,

Indus;



Now, our respected prime-minister;

Has done so much more

For our India;

And we all are proud of it;



Everyone living in the country;

Gets their own rights and responsibilities;



Girls have too got so much respect,

And many important rights;

Like Right to Education and so much more!



Equality between all genders;

Supporting real people and their real doings;



Not supporting fake people and their fake doings;

Giving a lending hand to good and great talent;

Is all that gives us the reason to love and praise India;



So many talented actors, sportspeople, dancers, singers, and other players;

Bring home a precious memorandum;

This gives us another reason to love and praise India;



Different states and different cultures

Enhance the beauty of the land of India even more;



India is known for different monuments like the Taj Mahal, Qutab Minar etc. also,



Writing or speaking about India is difficult;

Such a vast country,

Cannot be defined in a few minutes or hours!



Yes, India is not just a country,

It's a whole emotion!
