This is a poem on India.

————

From Ladakh’s icy edge to Kanyakumari’s golden beach,

India's soul isn’t just a place, it's within reach.

Not just maps or borders, but legends, alive and loud,

A rhythm, a beat, of which every culture is proud.

Tricolour waves —

Mountains, rivers, cities, dreams,

Saffron courage, white truth that beams,

Green hope — grow, spread, in every shadow and light.

From Kashmir’s chill to Kerala’s warmth,

In every whisper, every storm,

Unity sings through desert sands and sea spray,

In the pulse of our hearts, it finds its way!

Punjab’s fields stretch wide,

Where harvests and history collide.

Haryana’s plains, Delhi’s streets —

The past and progress, where they meet.

Uttar Pradesh’s holy rivers flow,

Bihar’s stories, ancient and slow,

Jharkhand’s forests, Bengal’s breeze,

Quiet strength flows with ease.

Assam’s tea, Nagaland’s pride,

Meghalaya’s rain, where spirits reside,

Sikkim’s heights, Arunachal’s streams,

Every corner, a new dream.

Gujarat’s growth, Maharashtra’s lights,

Bangalore’s tech, Goa’s nights,

Karnataka’s coffee, Tamil Nadu’s grace,

Every region leaves a mark, a trace.

Union Territories, hear their call,

Ladakh’s calm, Andaman’s thrill,

Puducherry’s French twist, Tamil blend,

Every wave whispers, every corner bends.

Daman and Diu’s coast,

Dadra and Nagar Haveli’s quiet post,

Lakshadweep’s blue, a piece of the sky,

Andaman’s echoes, where history won’t die.

India! Not just a name—

It’s a stand, a song, a flame!

In mountains, plains, and oceans deep,

This dream, this hope, we always keep!

From Rajasthan’s forts to Gujarat’s sands,

From West Bengal’s sunrise to coastal lands,

Every state, every heart, every land —

We rise together, hand in hand!

India! Not just a nation —

A sensation, a creation, a vibration!

In every soul and every beat,

India’s legacy can’t be beaten!

Our past, our present, a bright path,

A future built with endless might.

In this journey, vast and grand,

India thrives, together we stand!

India! Not just a place —

But grace, courage, an eternal embrace!

From every corner, through every tide,

Our unity will never subside!

India stands,

India roars,

A legacy that forever soars!
