KINGDOM OF INCLUSIVITY

In our diverse subcontinent

We stand proudly, oh so tall

Shades of blue, green, and red

We have got them all.

Calligraphy, literature, sculpture and architecture

Decorating our traditions, aren’t mere expressions

They are the key to our freedom

Allowing us to break free from chains of oppression.

On stage with the opening curtains

It seems as if someone cast a magical spell

With wide-eyed curiosity and a wave of ideation

The smallest fragments have unique stories to tell.

Through dance, music, theater and art

We connect the dots presumed afar

Greatest of cultures knitting up India

Lighting the sky like twinkling stars
