India Independence Day 2018: Poem in Hindi to Evoke Real Nationalism on This Swatantrata Divas

India today celebrates Independence Day commemorating the freedom we achieved from the clutches of Britishers. After being ruled on by foreign forces for over 150 years, people of the nation fought and drove away their empire from our nation. We owe the independence we enjoy today to the freedom fighters who protested, fought and laid their lives for the country' independence. Today, we as a free democratic nation, India celebrates its 72nd Independence Day marked by various events and programs.

After being left depleted of our wealth and resources following the colonial rule, the country has strengthened itself and stands tall with other nations of the world. India just like other world countries today have considerable achievements in the field of science, technology, art, infrastructure, production, etc to be proud of. India also holds high its rich heritage, culture, religion, traditions, and has made a mark on the international level in different sectors. This Independence Day we have written a poem that portrays the pride of the country. India Independence Day 2018 Quotes: Patriotic Lines by Freedom Fighters And Leaders That Evoke Pride in Every Indian on 15th of August

This poem summarises the real essence of nationalism:

Aaao aaj kuch baat karein, aazaadi ki aabaadi ki,

ye desh jo mera aur tera, iske jharne ki vaadi ki,

ek ek kadam rakh badte chale, ye bharat desh ye hindustan,

baat ho Sipahi Singh, Captain Saurabh, Rifleman Aurangzeb ki kurbani ki.

Iss desh ki khaatir ae saathi, kuch tune kaha kuch maine,

tirange ke un rango ki tarah, vo lafz alag dil ek to hain.

kyun ghabrana kyun sharmana, keh do har baat manmaani ki.

Aaj diwali ho kal ho eid, parso ho goonj gurbani ki,

azaad ho tum bhi aur hum bhi, hain pehchaan hum Hindustani ki.

Vo khoob lade to aazaadi jo desh ne mere paayi thi,

sambhaal rakhein isko ab hum, nafrat ki na nishani ho.

Bharat ghar mera, tera bhi, kuch main chal duun kuch tu chal de,

muskaan sabhi cheheron par hai, khushi aankhon mein paani ki.

Aao aaj kuch baat karein, har ek swatantra hindustani ki,

Jai Hind Aur Vande Mataram ki, Bharat ki is aazaadi ki.

Jai Hind! Swatantrata divas ki badhaai!  - Pragati Ratti Sharma
