THE IDEA OF A DEMOCRATIC NATION

Unfurling the tricolor,
To salute a creation,
Coming together,
In honor of a celebration,
The idea of a democratic nation.


Remembering the martyrs,
In respect of their revolutions,
Revisiting the history,
In quest of redefinition,
The idea of a democratic nation.


Calling over the times,
To raise voice in observation,
Of concerns closer to the heart,
To power a manifestation,
The idea of a democratic nation.


Foreseeing a future,
Of peace and protection,
From the felonies of fanatism,
To guard against extreme devastation,
The idea of a democratic nation.


Seeking freedom from prejudices,
To defy the evil practice of discrimination,
On grounds of caste, creed, sex,
And to curtail malpractices in name of religion,
The idea of a democratic nation.


Let's unite once again,
In the fair interest of our beloved nation,
To protect the rights of women,
And to gift to our future generations,
The idea of a democratic nation.
