India is our country And we are told It's a great country However, I beg to differ Rather, we are sold The idea of an utopian nation A country with a myriad variety of cultures Races, religions and languages United by a common feeling of brotherhood However, look beneath the hood And the idea implodes spectacularly Crumbling in a heap Instead, emergeth a divide so deep That it can be bested not Even by the mighty Pacific Ocean Truth be told, we are but a Hindu nation In all but name Instead, we put the blame For all our evils On the British, one day And the Mughals, the very next day While more and more blood spills In the name of religion and caste How long will this last? India is our country And as per the Constitution All Indians are our brothers and sisters However, if you use your imagination Understand, you will That this is just a facade Designed to protect our international image As you turn page after page Of our so-called glorious history Emergeth the true picture A land comprising thousands of castes Fighting each other since the beginning of time Something that would put to shame Even the fickle-minded Romans During the reign of Julius Caesar We Indians are indeed pathetic humans Falling like nine pins At the slightest hint of pressure While boasting about past wins That no longer matter India is our country And a time there was When, a proud Indian I was However, passed have light years, since then Oppressed, have been our women More so, those who are underprivileged Brahmins, were the rapists of Bilkis Bano And hence, did they go unpunished Meanwhile, ***** by the Indian Army Are the women of Kashmir and the North Eastern states For which, not a single mainstream feminist bothers to show even the slightest sign of empathy Something that truly makes my blood boil Even as hundreds of wrongdoers get bail Because, our justice system is an epic fail On the other hand, you have innocent people Languishing in jail for ages Because nobody bothers to turn the pages Of the Constitution of India Yes, India is our country indeed But patriots we are, no longer Because, ultimately, humanity is stronger A field where India can never take the lead Yes, Indians we are However, humans we are first
