a letter to my motherland
Answers
Dear India,
You are a country of people with diverse religions, castes and creed. India provides right to equality, inculcates freedom of expression, she upholds her dignity in the world.
By preserving the cultural traditions, festivals and heritage monuments, she projects rich values. India is as powerful as her inventions and invaluable contribution to the world of space, mathematics, and yoga.
The positive shift in trend towards empowering women is fantastic, and to see them climb the echelons of various spheres of life is extremely encouraging. Whether it is the corporate world, armed forces, sports, fashion designing, or science – she is making her presence felt like never before. This reflects that the society is undergoing a transformation.
I wish to see more Saina Nehwals, Sania Mirzas and Deepa Karmakars making the country proud.
With many new schemes being implemented, focus on entrepreneurship and start-ups, digitalisation, cleanliness and safety campaigns and giving preference to Indian raw-materials and products, she is the focus of attention.
In order for her to be safe, peaceful, harmonious, strong, clean and green for the future generations to survive, we all need to make concerted efforts to be able to envision India of our dreams and be able to say, “my India, my pride.”
Love,
Sana.
Dear Motherland,
I have no habit of saying freely what I think but, you know, deep inside my trembling heart and soul there is something that keeps telling me to express my feelings and emotions towards you. It does not matter what other people think about you, but for me, you are the best motherland, whenever I keep my eyes on bright stars in the darkness, I always think about how's your life is going on, my Motherland. When I am asleep, I see your joy, silent walk, calm smile and whatnot, but never see you when I am awake, indeed, a thousand times I have failed to elicit the fact from you, my Motherland.
I am proud of myself because I was born in the interior of your area. For the first time when I opened up my eyes as a newborn baby, I saw your indescribable beauty, a new lovely universe. To take care of me, you have sent two honourable people like mother and father.
The sound of your blue ocean waves, the river stream with the sound of dynamic waterfalls, the beautiful valley of flowers, the beautiful snow-capped and evergreen mountains, the beautiful nimbus clouds, the sound of rain falling, the scenery of rainbow, the secret song of hidden birds, the shadows of tall trees always gives me a sense of comfort. You have given us the gift of the surface of the sand where we plant trees for food, make the habitation and shelter. A big, heartfelt thank you for all this.
Your love and care towards your son and daughters fill my eyes with tears. You expect nothing in return from us, but I assure you I will do anything you order because I understand your pain and helplessness, please do not cry, my dear motherland. Maybe some people just born to eat and live, do not worry about them. I will never forget my responsibility towards you. I do not care whether I fail and succeed, but I will leave no stone unturned to shine you, my dear motherland. If necessary, I am ready to give my blood and die for you. Keep smiling.
Your loving son,
An Indian.
