Happy 78th Independence Day! Poem by Sanji-Paul Arvind

Today we mark seventy-eight years gone by,
With pride and joy, we lift our heads high.
For many gave all, whose names we miss,
Yet their dreams live on in India's bliss.

Remember the elders, honor their fight,
Their struggles for freedom day and night.
Love your land with a heart pure,
Like a child cherishes simple allure.

Salute to our flag, with colors bright,
It waves with honor, a glorious sight.
Freedom is a treasure, not just to boast,
Cherish all, from north to south and east to west.

Sing National Anthem with voices clear,
It binds us all Indian's, far and near.
For years we were denied, our rights
Young and old, stood without fear, our patriots.

Now we live in dignity and in peace,
A legacy of sacrifice, written in our place.
Celebrate this day with hearts full and free,
For the freedom we hold was won for you and me.
