Head of Consular and Community Welfare Wing at the Indian Consulate, Consul S.K. Verma tells SBS Hindi,

"The idea is to encourage people, including the younger generations, to connect with their roots, connect with their land and also encourage people to write handwritten letters."

"This is the first time that such a competition is being held. I would request the Indian diaspora here that they should encourage their children to take part in this letter writing competition so that their thoughts can also reach the Government and other people."

Answer 2

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.
