Freedom Struggle: India

What do you know, About the rule of British? It is not a rule For Indian`s to cherish! It started decades ago, They began with trade And then slowly, They began to invade. It started at the borders That were close to the coasts It was a rule, About which Britain boasts. What then became of the Indians And their peaceful life? The British turned it , Into more of a bitter strife. The horrors of British rule Steadily began to bloom. Across our country far and wide Began the days of gloom. The Indians didn`t back out, They fought for their rights. Across the country could be seen The start of horrendous fights. Battles were in plenty, Loss of lives were too. Those who were caught were jailed It was like a human zoo! It didn`t stop the Indians They wanted to be free. They were a support to the country Like strong roots to a tree. Images of the horrors Were seen at different posts. What about innocent people? The images haunted them like ghosts! Few hundred years of struggle Had come to an end. It was decided that the British Back to England they would send. The country we live in today Is thanks to those, The brave freedom fighters Who destroyed our woes.
