The land of Mahavira and Nanak; the dream to the Buddha and Gandhi; the nursery of temples and mosques is India, my country. She is first and foremost in my thoughts. I love India, my country.
India, the biggest democracy and one of the oldest civilizations of the world, is the second-most populous country is the world. Indians are great people. My country has produced warriors like Porus, Rana Pratap, and Shivaji; statesmen like Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhi and freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpat Rai and Sardar Patel.
In the field of science and literature my country has produced shining stars like Ravindra Nath Tagore, Prem Chand, Sarat Chandra and Sir C.V. Raman, Jagdish Chandra Bose and Dr. H.J. Bhaba, Dr. Kalam.
My country is a land of villages and fields laden with grains. I am proud of her villages from where the Indian civilization has blossomed forth. Most of the great leaders of our country came from villages. Our fields are fed by the mighty river like the Ganges, Jamuna, Brahmputra and Cauveri. The Gangetic valley is the most fertile part of our land.
The natural waters that wash her feet on three sides and the mighty Himalayas that stand on the fourth have given my country the shape of a natural fort. The lure of the mountains attracted many adventururs to this land of ours.
Ours is secular state and in her lap breathe the happy followers of all the religions of the world. We have a unique culture which has developed through the centuries. There is much diversity among our people. We speak many languages, worship many gods and yet we have the same spirit, the spirit of India, running through all parts of our country, binding us together. It is a great unity in diversity.
My country, because of her many historical places, is the craze of tourists. The Taj, Fatehpur Sikri, the Qutab and the Red Fort are a few of the many wonders which attract the human curiosity. Kashmir has been described as heaven on earth. My country, the country of mountains, valleys, rivers and lakes is a perfect abode for the gods.
After independence in 1947 India has made tremendous progress in the fields of agricultrue, industry, science, technology, nuclear and space sciences. The day’s not far when India will atop the world not through war but with peace, progress and prosperity. It will again be a citadel of learning and importance for entire world as in yore.
