Rise India

Wake up, India! Wake up!

Let the world know of your existence.

India, where a billion hopes rise each morning.

Only to plunge through darkness, 
and yet emerge victorious.

India, where a billion wake up each morning to fight disparities,with a power 
unheard of.

People say as they must, that a billion are a handicap.

But thats where lies the secret of India's power.

A power which can achieve the impossible.
A power which can achieve what no one has.
