Freedom Thousands of Indians have offered their life,
O My Mother, for your soil, so many lives have been sacrificed
So many mothers dedicated their treasures to our freedom
We all have seen a dream
A dream to see our mother India alive
A dream to cherish the spirit of our nation
So many nights have been spent tirelessly
After being mercilessly beaten by BritishersÂ
Indians did not stop to raise their voice
They choose to live freely by choice
They got freedom, not by chance
But by battling for justice, equality and liberty
It is a hard-toiled treasure to preserve
We chose to be free from the chains of autocracy
From the constraints of colonizersÂ
It was not our demand to get liberation
It is the heritage of our nation
We feel proud to be the offspring of such a golden age
From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, we have to spread the message
That we all are one despite the regional differences
Let’s awake with the dawn of this day, and proudly say that we are Indians
Let’s take a pledge to devote the last drop of blood for only our nation!
-Dr Sudipta Mishra
