Salut to the Republic
As it turns sixty today
and is just warming up
You still can see tears in the yarn
But cannot miss how complex is the fabric
Cannot but appreciate the colours it presents
How the warp and weft keeps it strong
You still can see potholes on the road
But cannot miss the reaches of the path
The amount of people it carries
And the way it connects the souls
Agree that we have a lot of roadblocks, still
Amazing is the progress we've had
The sons and daughters who flew the flag higher
Who brought the pride back to the land
The Indian dream is not a tagline today
But it is a fact we can be proud of
The land which has premiers in all fields
Of all casts and colours; men and women
Salut to the nation
As it breathes the sixtieth year
We've just started the journey
And have miles to go before we sleep

Very appropriate one. Easy to see issues and problems; but everything should be viewed in the right perspective. Building the mosaic took lots of energy by our leaders like Nehru, PAtel, Gandhiji, Mrs GAndhi (with all her faults), Vajpayee, Fernndez, Manmohan etc etc. Miles to go; but I am confident and sure about our future. We alls hould be proud as Indians, we all should make it better. All- Ram, Rahim, and Robert.
