Be A Proud Indian Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

Be an Indian proud of its plurality
Is ever my dream of fidelity.
May God guide us in our unity
Keeping high our Sovereignty.
Our home is of all creeds -men
Cherished in their breeds-when
They began their life: here on Earth
By burning twigs in their hearth.
We know the Sun sheds its light
And the Moon its beams bright
For the creatures all equally elite
And the poor mourning on plight.
We are civilized not in words-but
In thought s, deeds as Buddha said.
At times darkens Culture here -but
Reformers blazon it as golden stud.
Let the august August make minds
Refined with the feel of kind minds
In equanimity do shake their hands
As One Spirit dwells in Indian hands.
