The World Applauds Us

We (India) were ruled for nearly 200 years, and we came back strong in last 60 odd years. We made our mark in the world and are going strong.

In the heart of those,
Who rose against all odd
Was a hope to conquer
The world's applaud.
 
We fought for our right
To live and survive
And came out victorious
Wounded but REVIVED.
 
The world we lived in
Cursed and laughed
And pitied on us
As they thought we chaffed.
 
The stakes were too high
And the strength unfurled
But the will was there
To finally show to the world.
 
Determined we started
One step at a time
And adopted our constitution
In the year 1949.
 
But the end dominion of the British crown 
Was two months away
When on 26th Jan 1950, we celebrated 
Our first republic day.
 
Since then we have come
Too far and too strong
To a place where world applauds us
To a place where we belong.

- Hemang Pushkar

I agree.
"Since then we have come
Too far and too strong
To a place where world applauds us
To a place where we belong."
India is a success story. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the poetry.
