Should I only raise the flag?
Should I raise the flag this Independence Day,
Or should I raise my voice and say?
Say it so loud that my voice reaches far away.
How good is it raising a flag just one day
When millions go hungry every single day?
How good it is to wave the flag?
When there is no money in my bag?
I am not poor, or need freebies, or charity
I only need my own money in a Bank with security
I don't want politicians who raise hope
That end with farmers committing suicide with a rope
I don't care for promises of Good days called Acche Din
which is mainly all noise and only Din
I want my freedom to criticise a bad politician
With no fear of being slapped with defamation
I want to speak against bad and wrongs in the nation
And not be scared of being slapped with sedition
Do we truly believe that a raised flag waiving
Will actually change India's standard of living?
Will celebrating Indepence Day
be a celebration everyday?
Celebration of a great nation today
Not a mere celebration of a great nation that was yesterday
We take Pride and praise our leaders of yesterday
And what are our present leaders doing today?
Is it only respect for a flag of a nation,
Or a hope for a future generation?
On this 75th Independence Day
Am I truly proud, or is it all about a flag that I will sway?

I am proud to be a citizen of this nation which was great yesterday.
I don't wish to celebrate Independence day for the leaders it has today.

Wonderful Sunny. You have hit the nail on its head. But the head (brain) of the politicians are numb.

Sunny the points you have raised are relevant and as citizens of this great country we all should all work together to get justice and self respect for all.
