Such thoughts are disheartening and painful for a person like me who is grown up in a mix culture. So I decided to pen this poem and there is no better day to share it than on the occasion of Independence Day. Enjoy the poem. Happy Independence Day.

Turban,tilak,locket of cross, skullcap,
between us they don't create any gap.
Difference exists in the thinking of few,
who restricts to become an India new.
In all the years of pain and glory,
we all are the part of the story.
None can achieve success on its own,
progress depends on seeds we all have sown.
In unity we grow,in division we fall,
mentality of 'Us vs Them' needs to stall.
Human,Indians,Individual we live in that order,
Our freedom has abolished backwardness' borders.
'Free we are' say it with proud,
removing hate inducing doubt.
Tricolor denotes all of us,
with differentiating our religion,color & class.
