A Strange Country Called India

A Strange Country Called India

A Poem by Devashish Kumar

A country which claims to exist for centuries; 
But only got her act together after a series of invasions. 

A country which claims to be a socialist;
But has the highest number of people below the poverty line.

A country which boasts missile and satellite technology;
But ranks very low in HDI and infant mortality rate.

A country which has hundreds of languages of her own;
But uses English as her official language. 

A country which worships goddesses;
But does not treat women as equals.
