A Call to Young India

'twas 57 long years ago they say,
I wasn't there to see it but…well…they say,
A nation staggered to its feet then,
It became a Republic…The Indian Republic,

What is a republic? They knew that aeons ago…
Since time immemorial efforts are on…
Many nations tried and now lie tattered and torn…
Our nation hasn't yet gone on that path,

Neither has it become what is a Republic,
Torn by many evils but yet hangin' in there,
India is a resolute spirit but how long will it hold…
India Shining, !ncredible India…they do it for votes,

Not one is dedicated to India, our motherland,
What she needs is the fire in the belly,
It's up to us, Young India, rise and make her big,
Rekindle the fire within you, it's glory time,

Far behind us in the pages of history,
We see an India which was glorius,
Let's relive that India, Glorious India,
The powers that be don't see this dream,

Don't become the powers that be,
Become the power that does,
The power of a dream, India Glorious,
Let it occupy you, drive you, the scintillating flame…Young India…
