A billion people with a billion different hopes and dreams
Everybody's got a different culture, it seems
We've got different foods in different streets
In every language, there is a different greet

India,the big land of diversity
with culture displayed in its traditions, festivals and celebrations
India, known for its bravery for ages
none can with it compete
its culture no one can beat
India, widely know for its great unity
whenever there is a need
sharing at times of crisis
its a value sown indeed

They ask me where I stay
I tell them in the hustles and bustles of Bombay ,
They ask me where my mind is at ,
I tell them  , it's lost in the culture of Gujrat .

On the bright sunny mornings in Kerala,
I just feel like drinking some chilled coca-cola.
On the rainy days , on top of Lonavla mountains ,
It feels like u are under a fountain.
India is known since ages
It has always come forward on the world stages .

Together hand to hand
Become a strong force
Even the biggest enemy could not stand
Many more are attached to this evil
That we need to eradicate
Lets become a fist
That does not understand the division of caste, gender, and religion.
Become the fist that does not understand
What border separates man from man.

In the unshapely, crumbling rural mud homes

covered with thatched roofs

lives our country India

In their drums and riveting music of the bamboo flutes

is reflected the eternal practices of our country

On their very core

attacks the faceless and poisonous monster of urban greed

On the grieving fate

of this lively, unsuspecting culture

laughs the mighty monster of urban slump

# data[].attributes.body
A land that treats all as equals

Regardless of cast, color or creed

Where each citizen has their own tongue

And acceptance is taught to the young

A land of scenic beauty

That is sure to leave you in awe

India is a land of sages
known for its diversity for ages,

Whatever caste or religion
all live here in unison,

With rivers and sweet fountains
it is land of high mountains,

Its green forests are pretty
and are a source of prosperity.

This is a country for all
For the Free, the Brave, the Honorable
A country that stands for unity
A haven, for those in need

Where families starve to death
Individuals are devoured by corruption
Where communities are slaughtered based on their name
Or who they choose to worship

And yet
Her people say they love her
And her people say not all is lost
They perform their duties
Duties their hearts may as well regret

This is a country of hope
Hope that somehow, someday fear would be no more
This is our country
And her name is India

-Shyla

With her strong will
And her desire to seize control
From the chaos all around
Her flame burnt brighter than ever
As they unified to free her

The fire still raging inside Her
A flame that cannot be extinguished
For it's the people and their honor
Who fight against the injustice
And for their pride
As their sacrifices pave the way
For our dreams to come alive

Days have came and gone,
Leaving everyone lone,
Who is sick and tired,
Of being stuck and wired.
Not only one of us
But all of us.

My home India

An endless prospect of diversity

An ocean of culture and civilization

Is the nation which welcomes all with open arms

My home India

A land which finds beauty in incongruity

A land which brings unity to assortment

Is the heart of god's universe which beats for each of its individuals

My home India

A land where the tricolour is a  reminder of our amity

A land where a bustling crowd is always on the go

Is yet the land which preaches a life lead by the virtues of harmony and hospitality

My home India

A land where valleys subside and mountains peak

A land where boundaries diminish and terrains collide

Is a nation we proudly regard as our mother

I love India
its our India
India consists of great men
once it was the golden hen
but some cruel men
took all her treasure
for their selfish pleasure
now its in our hand
to understand
to make India grand

I love my India,
heaven on land-India.

It is a diverse country,
Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isai.

India is my motherland, where all citizens walk hand in hand.

All my brothers live together,
with peace forever and ever.

I love my India,
heaven on land-India

None can with it compete,
its culture no one can beat.

Somewhere in the world
is a country of great diversity.

Where people of all religion
live with peace. But the chains of unity always break due to disparities between these groups.

The year of 1919 was a year of great terror. Where many were slaughtered and many killed.

All the people come together,

And try to light up the stage,

They try, try, try but each and every time they fail to succeed.

This is because they pretend but not attempt,

They are united but not free from prejudices, stereotypes

To say we are so called united

and physically close to each other

But the emotional distance is unlimited

There are too many artificial walls

Social ladder is what ends up making all of us together fall

The nation is divided into

Hindu-Muslim, rich-poor, privileged- not so privileged

To establish unity there is a need

To bring about a change,

Change in mindset

Change in thinking

Change in yourself

So that the stage can light up with evolved players

With evolved mindset and evolved thoughts

Unity can be established,

Narrow mindedness can be abolished,

And mankind can flourish…

I eagerly look forward to that day;

to make India’s prejudices go away.

The whole world comes together

But humanity couldn’t be further apart

These narrow domestic walls are knocked down

And built back up

Sometimes higher than they were before

The world is like a magnet

Half of it accepting, welcoming

But the other half breaks it apart

India, my native land

Where equality lends a hand for diversity to brace

But our vices withstand like venom in our veins

Where tolerance is preached in the name of dharma

Just as bigotry is sold in the name of worship

Where children are born to a land of opportunities

A land which hands them tools to ply not books to read

Where the white of our tricolour stands for unity and peace

Some are pariahs like their touch carries a disease

Where our thresholds are marked by Her crimson footprints

Even as our streets are sheathed in her crimson blood

India, my native land

Where our virtues lend a hand for society to brace

But our vices withstand like venom in our veins.

I live in India
Where there is a free media

And people can ask for anything they require
And go wherever they desire,

Where casteism, racism and sexism are not prevalent
And only humanity is relevant

Where there is no communal violence
And people are happy and silent

Where there is no poverty
And everyone is brotherly

# data[].attributes.body
We will forever be free
we'll stand united,
I wish my people to be,
Then the land will never be divided.

We'll turn golden once again,
changing colors as we go high.
Muscle through all the pain
Let us fly
Let us fly........

The Divided Truth of A United Society

The golden bird has come a long way
Since she was put to slay
By greedy, self-appointed custodians
With the motto to make their own little world utopian

As the mother was subdued
Her children were imbued
They were knighted
But if only they were not divided

Emancipators vouched for unity
As the righteous path of gaining serenity
Peeling into the unconscious
Making eminence meet with colossus

But the whole world is a family
So we have heard
Yet being left confined between imaginary lines of tradition
Is the range of unity yet partition

# data[].attributes.body
Home to a billion,
And a sea of culture,
God knows how this exists,
Hopefully the unity persists,
The wealth of this thriving nation is its people,
So lets not divide this land on status basis,
And show brotherhood to all races,
Time to make this nation reach highs using its people
Just like its mountain ranges,
So the world can see these changes
