15 August.
What for it is famous?
They told us
On this day
We got independence.
Are we independent really?
They warned us,
Ask not such
Question further.
They said,
Worry not,
We are here for you.
We will take you,
To the path of progress.
What do you mean by progress?
They explained
Foreign English language
Will be used everywhere.
Foreign companies will come,
You will earn more and more dollars.
Your son will read in English medium
And he will go to foreign to serve there.
Your daughter will love to a man
Who is not from your land, and
Your family will be a global one.
The true meaning of freedom and salvation,
I know not.
I understood nothing,
And I wonder how they lead us
To totally a false notion.
But our Constitution says-
We, the people are sovereign.
But I realize, the very word
Sovereign is not applicable
Anywhere in our day to day life,
Here on this earth.
