India, my country

India is not a land of snake charmers anymore!
Oh no! It is the land of Gandhi and Tagore.
A land of culture and tradition,
Which is the result of a long process of evolution.

A place where 'the head is held high',
Where tradition does not die.
India is famous in all the world for its spices
The cuisine naturally entices.

We are the world's largest producers of milk,
Not to be left behind in tea, cotton and silk.
We gave the world its first university
Of software developers, we have the second largest community.

Beautiful is the architecture of the Qutub and the Taj
These beauties were in place since the time of the British Raj.
Famous indeed is the 'Lady with the lamp'
She is comparable with none on the ramp.

To this day I wish to say
I am more proud of my country than I can convey.
