A Prayer to Bharat Mata
Vande Mataram
Wishing you peace and glory on your 66th Anniversary of Freedom from colonialism.
One of the world’s oldest nations, Bharat Mata,
You nurture a cultural diversity,
Rich traditions and values nestled in your fold,
Wondering how to resolve the dilemma of the current times,
How to use Freedom with responsibility,
Making good governance possible,
Preventing degradation in values which formed the basis of our motherland’s rich history and tradition.
The current generation is caught at the crossroads of blending Western culture with native culture en route their journey of progress.
Dear Motherland, hope the magic happens: Empower your citizens to rise above all this confusion and become worthy citizens of their motherland now and forever.
Jai Hind
