‘ I’ For India
‘ I’ For India
‘I' is a single letter word
Implies the meaning single
The ‘I’ in I’ for India signifies
The idea of differences to mingle
‘I’ is a one-letter word
That originates from the heart
‘I’ in ‘I’ for India
Will never want it to break into parts
India is a great nation that stands for ‘unity in diversity’
Which means oneness in spite of
Presence of immense diversity
If my love for India
Is a prejudice
My nation is my pride
I take pride in
India’s diversity’s
Be it geographic, religious, or cultural
Linguistic, regional, or racial
Be it individual or social differences in
Physical attributes; skin color
Caste or creed
For all its differences are viewed as varieties
That enriches the society and nation as a whole
And we find oneness in its
Scientific excellence, spiritualism
Humanitarian values and patriotism
‘I’ for India as a great
A nation with its varied diversities
Progressing still marching ahead
And taking world wide a lead
For a strong and sacred thread of unity
Has been running through India’s life
Which is woven with
Love, peace, and kindness
Not with hatred vengeance or strife
At times its cultural unity
Underwent serious ups and downs
Still, it is progressing
Being ornamented with
Diversity as its crown
‘I’ in ‘I’ for India
Is an initiative
Taken by India’s leading actors,
Musicians, playback singers
Sportspersons and industrialists
And international artists
To raise funds to support
COVID-19 relief every Indian
That is my belief
Let’s take a pledge
To safeguard our country
From extremists and terrorists
And protect our national culture and heritage
And take pride in
Visualizing a strong, united
And prosperous ‘Atmanirbharsil’
I’ for India
