for swift retort has choked your Gallic might.

India's soul isn’t just a place, it's within reach.
Not just maps or borders, but legends, alive and loud,
A rhythm, a beat, of which every culture is proud.

Mohtarmaas!
Not just titles,
Titans of change,
Revolution’s rhythm,
Pulsing through time!

Tricolour dreams—
Sewn with the might of women,

Defiance in diversity!

From Jhansi’s fort
To Delhi’s gates,
Rebellion echoes,
In the roar of battlefields,
In the silence of prison...

Ashoka's wheel-spinning tales of unity in diversity

From Kashmir's peaks to Kanyakumari's shores
Independence echoes
In the clamour...

Of families of the people not only fighting on the borders,
But also within the borders.

~~~~~ Jai Hind ~~~~~~~~
From great nation, India, we hail,
Where Indus valley used to prevail.
Emperors came, emperors gone,
We always regained our own throne.

Brutal than Alexander, Ghazni,...

Tiranga (Tricolour)

First unfurled, was the Indian tricolor; 
on Everest, the world's highest peak.
All the three colours are deliberated

of a boundless realm.
Hopes were high,
supervision constant.
Animals could speak,

I was third in command
of a band less than four.
Hopes were higher,
Supervision rare.
Girls could speak,
kisses could...
