Well this is a poem that i had written for one of my projects about the youth of today





To Be An Indian



They say I am born in India,

And so I am an Indian,

A country rich with tradition

And boasts unity in its diversification



They say I am an Indian,

But do I know our tradition?

Oh yes I do, but definitely not all,

For this the time of a cultural downfall



They say I am an Indian,

And I do see diversification

For people of different religions do stay here,

But their unity, well, about that I am not too sure



They say I am an Indian

And I do love India,

But about my country, I don’t have a basic idea



So I asked my mother,

“Is following culture and tradition an integral part of being an Indian?”

She said, “To be a good Indian, it is necessary to have belief in our culture and tradition and to preserve and protect it, and above all, it is necessary to have love and care for your homeland.”



Ignorant, if I can call myself,

I don’t know much about all of this.

So, I am left to wonder,

Am I really an Indian?
