A Proud Indian

I pledge all Indians my sisters.
But I don't bother to feel comfy
in my abutting state.
And I boast to be a proud Indian!

I go abroad for vacation.
But I don't care to excavate
the inherent asset of my homeland.
And I boast to be a proud Indian!

I admire and adopt other's culture.
But I don't feel the shame
to neglect my own heritage.
And I boast to be a proud Indian!

I curse the system of my country.
But I don't feel the urge
to change the pattern.
And I boast to be a proud Indian!

Years pass by.
Independence day comes and goes.
I celebrate it like one more holiday.
And I still boast to be a proud Indian!!!
