Answer:

"To India -- My Native Land" is an address to India itself by poet Henry Louis Vivian Derozio. ... The word "glory" is repeated in the poem, emphasizing how great India once was, when "a beauteous halo" encircled it and it was "worshipped as a deity." He states that the country's "eagle pinion is chained down at last."

To India - My Native Land is a poem composed by Indian poet Henry Louis Vivian Derozio in 1828. It is one of the most notable works by the Indian poet.

The poet was very pained at the fact that India was under British rule and laments that fact in this poem.[1]

SUMMARY:

To India - My Native Land

My country! in thy day of glory past

A beauteous halo circled round thy brow,

And worshipped as a deity thou wast.

Where is that glory, where that reverence now ?

Thy eagle pinion is chained down at last,

And grovelling in the lowly dust art thou;

Thy minstrel hath no wreath to weave for thee

Save the sad story of thy misery!

Well–let me dive into the depths of time,

And bring from out the ages that have rolled

A few small fragments of those wrecks sublime,

Which human eyes may never more behold;

And let the guerdon of my labour be

My fallen country! one kind wish from thee!

The poet expresses a sense of personal loss in the downfall of his country, India. Addressing India, the poet says that in the old days, India was worshipped like a deity. Poet wonders where that glory and splendour have disappeared and regrets the fact that his motherland has now been reduced to the position of a slave of the British Empire. The author also mentions that the country has been humiliated and ashamed of herself grovelling in the dust. There was time when the country soared like an eagle in the skies but now the wings of that great bird have been clipped and it is chained. The poet has no wreath of flowers to offer the country but instead, he will dig into the past and will try to sing of some parts of that great history which is no longer available to the younger generation. The only reward author wants for his effort is that the country should have a kind wish for the author and the countrymen should love him. The author says that his last wish to all the Indians is to dive deep into the past and bring back the lost glory of India

The theme is mainly patriotism. Henry Louis Vivian Derozio talked of the past glory of India and how the country that was called the "Golden Bird" has been chained and enslaved. He proposes to write about some of that heritage of the distant past and in return hopes for a kind wish from the country and its people.[2]
