On (71st) Indian Independence Day,2017

Unfurl the tricolor of India high! Let love of Motherland ascend the sky! Let's sing the national song by heart with pride! Let's put away our differences aside! Born are all Indians on this sacred soil; For integration, we must always toil; We brethren breathe the freedom's air today; Unanimously ‘Jai Hind', let's all say! Remember lives lost, sacrifices done; All states receive the same air, rain and sun; Renew our pledge to guard our borders long; With much respect, let's sing our national song! We're proud to be called Indians upon earth; We love to live in peace and spread out mirth; No one can break our bond of Indianness; We're poised to brave life's storms with much finesse. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Fondly dedicated to all Indians (leaders and patriots) by Dr.Prof.A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D., (KFMSR, CBE) Copyright by Dr John Celes 15-08-2017
