Salute to the Martyrs... My Freedom is my Inheritance # Patriotic Poem

Hello Rhymers, If meek will inherit the earth, young Indians will inherit freedom. You can have your flesh and soul, iced with the wealth you got in inheritance, but if you don't have sovereignty, identity and freedom to visualise & realise your dreams, all you inherited is rendered nugatory. 

The values and ethos that our parents impart to us, and our rich cultural diversity & heritage are priceless inheritance, but the freedom that we have inherited from our freedom fighters and martyrs is vital. And for that, let's salute the valiant soldiers of our armed forces for braving all odds to protect the integrity and sovereignty of our nation. Last month, I had the honor and a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Siachen Base Camp, which is a soldier's gateway to Siachen. It was a divine feeling just to be there at the place that is the epitome of patriotism & valor. The hardships and pain these brave-hearts go through to secure & uphold our freedom are heartwarming, numbing, yet inspirational. 
With that warmth and spirit, let this poem celebrate the legacy and fortitude of our freedom fighters and the soldiers & officers of Indian armed forces; and salute their selflessness & supreme sacrifices.

My freedom is my inheritance...

History of invasions and defiance,
Spirit of persistence and resurgence,
Nourished with the blood of martyrs,
Crowned by Himalayas’ magnificence,
My freedom is my inheritance...

Oceans of knowledge and spirituality,
Culture of acceptance and inclusivity,
Replete with the nobility of saints,
United at the face of divergence,
My freedom is my inheritance...

Secure under the vigil of our soldiers,
Marching with the pride of tricolor,
Committed to the future of nation,
Resplendent with youth and vibrance,
My freedom is my inheritance...
                                 - Dr. Prashant Bhatt

Let's join hands with these brave men and pay our own contributions in the progress of the nation. The little things that we can do to make a difference can go a long way. If we all can do our job honestly and sincerely, we would be doing a great service to the nation. For, every person, irrespective of the profession she/he is in, contributes in some way or the other. Together we can make this wonderful nation the pinnacle of knowledge and prosperity; and a paradigm of compassion, peace, inclusivity, tolerance and self restraint. 

Jai Hind!
Keep Vibing...
