FREEDOM
In this Golden Year of Independence Let us turn the pages of history The foreign rulers suppressed us n may ways Yet we never gave up our faith We fought them tooth and nail And sent them back from where they came The “Sun which never sets” was eclipsed by our courage and determination We broke the chains of bondage to give birth to a new age The post Independence saw the nation progress And brought smiles on the faces of the depressed But times have changed since then and clashes take place very often The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer Equality is only namesake, women are treated shabbily, and casteism still prevails in families. Some narrow minded people attack our religious sentiments, on the impulse of jealous “neighbors” So my friend you see, there is still work to be done Until we are fully free. We have to spread literacy And build up a strong bond among everyone Thus, we build a strong nation Where every man and woman is free Relig
