An ancient civilization many millennia old
Inside a young nation just finding its feet
A people divided a myriad ways
Who cheer in one voice for the Indian team
Inside a young nation just finding its feet
A people divided a myriad ways
Who cheer in one voice for the Indian team
Beautiful temples illuminated by sublime faith
Where timeless tales are carved on ageless stones
Inside crowded cities with squalid slums
Where struggling people step on each others toes
Looted, conquered, enslaved, colonized
Yet her bosom holds the secret to liberation
Happy 75th to the gentle giant
To a sacred land, to a modern nation
August 15th, 2022
India celebrates 75 years of independence!
