how dose the poem the song of india present the ills or problems affecting our country
Answers

Or, may be about the beggars and lepers; or the dirty surroundings that mar his streets. Similarly, he thinks whether he should sing of the rich cultural heritage or the freedom fighters who laid their life for the country. The Mother answered to sing the song of people who are in misery due to their ignorance; sing about the helpless child. Still, the speaker asks what to sing, thinking it his job.
