India and its Freedom.... What freedom really is?

Our nation’s freedom…

It is really great.

Not because the so-called freedom is

So great or a must.

But because,

Our nation, our mother, is so great

Beyond all the meaning of the word “great”,

And beyond the meaning of any word in any language,

Used to mean and denote greatness.

India is great.

With its courage and confidence

To be passive and silent throughout,

With its wise conviction to be

Unknown and insignificant

In the same way the almighty, 

Who protects it intact and integrated 

As the best example for the world, 

Opts for its being.

India

The one and only land

Fertile to all varieties of all seeds 

Accommodating in its blood and lap

All diversities of thoughts, 

Cultures, visions and philosophies.

All differences here turns to be one 

With its all-encompassing compassionate touch

That doesn't exclude others from

Being equally true and right.

*************

Still mother India’s freedom is

Only physical and material.

For India has never been subjugated,

As it was never possible for any

To subjugate, spiritually with a vision.

India knows and testifies for itself

That no one can make others free or slaves

Unless they really opt to be 

And become free or slaves by themselves.

Mother India, so, declares for itself

That the freedom is not freedom

If it doesn't coincide with independence,

The great state of self-reliance,

Where the nation and its nationals

Won’t have to depend on others.

Independence is one’s state of not depending.

Freedom is one’s becoming all powerful

Further needing not to prove 

With muscle and possessive richness and power.

**************

The freedom India got is

The freedom of power shift,

The steering and seat power shift,

From one to other,

From one hand to other hand

To rule only the body and matter.

But the rulers and nationals are not free

Only because the nation’s physic is free.

The nation’s physical freedom differs from

The freedom of each of its national.

And a nation is free

Only if its nationals are free

And only if its nationals know

The freedom is in independent living?

So, what does the real freedom mean?
