India 2014

INDIA 2014.

Inclusive and internalizing for ages
New-tech-nation of  Nirvana-seeking sages
Democratic but mired in dissent that rages.
Integrity its new ‘mantra’; equality
And liberty , watchwords , along with amity.

Inheriting a great heritage from a hoary past
Grabbing   modernity’s gifts, it is  growing fast.

Form: Acrostic
