We are proud to be Indians...!!

We belong to a land that is described most ancient in historical chapters,
mightiest rainy wind 'the monsoon', has given shape to our characters.
Where as hard winters turned Greeks and Romans sturdy and resourceful,
Our people are blessed with submissiveness and forbearance factors.
Bounteous Nature whenever furious has never been appeased by our efforts,
that's how we've learnt to face calmly flood, famine and other disasters.
We accept fortunate and misfortune alike without any grievance,
fatalism and quietism have ever protected us to become confronters.
Unlike Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece our traditions are preserved till date,
which thousands of years before were carried out by our forefathers.
We are proud to be born on this holy land and called as Indians,
irrespective of the fact whether we worship formless or are idolaters..!!
