India has made steady progress thus far The people have obliterated colonial scar No party or individual deserve to be named a star Country has advanced beyond bullock cart and car
In the island of prosperity there is despair The progress has not touched the poorest of poor to be fair The stark differences in the face of citizens stare Children ,pregnant mothers and others die for want of health care India has gone to Mars and the moon More advancement in science is expected soon A large pool of trained man power is a boon Legions of unemployed akin to sunset at noon Celebrations,rallies and flying the flag high No shelter, water, electricity, food citizens sigh Gimmicks deflecting the burden of price rise Diversion of issues at hand no surprise In 75 years true progress is by leaps and bounds The basic needs of citizen still hounds When life of every Indian turns around The happiest Indian on the streets will not be found Enough resources in Ondia to meet everyone's need Corruption .unlimited wants is bane of rulers greed When not a singlle Indian goes hungry at night The homes will light and social evils will take flight Development of all is the best flag of pride On empty slogans , promises India rides Employment , housing, education , shelter health care for all India is a country admired by all will stand tall Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
