Family Poem by MOLOY BHATTACHARYA

Our country is a big family
which is divided into many states,
like a room kept for each member
where one can feel peace and felicity
and feel happy to spend blissful hours.

Our country is a big family
of different religions and cultures
that co-exist and thrive instinctively
within the people who celebrate with colour
every occasion like their own.

Our country is a big family
where we live with unity in diversity
and speak many languages,
wear different costumes, observe rituals,
but we shower love and affection to all.

Our country is a big family
where each member contributes,
the farmers grow crops for living,
the teachers build our nation,
it is a mystery of divine creation.
