Independence
Isn't merely a word,
Isn't just an idea!
Independence
Is the freedom to live and
Love your identity as an Indian
Freedom
Isn't just a word
Independence
Is physical, mental, and intellectual
Freedom from servitude
Thoughts free!
Not imposed
And
Not implanted;
To live with
Freedom
Isn't just a word
Independence
Is the freedom to choose,
To choose the dreams,
And the right to pursue them
With resources and opportunities to live them
Opportunities equal!
Not reserved
And
Not discriminated.
Freedom
Is not imposed choices,
Not endless struggle to survive,
Not the life's achievement of just survival,
Fulfilling basic needs
Freedom
Is
Safety, equality, and respect.
Freedom
Is the life
With free thoughts, dreams, and the life to dreams;
A life
With endless practicalities
To live freely,
Merrily
