A Prayer for Our Country.
                                                  
Where the mind is without Fear and the Head is held high,
Where wealth is not the concubine of the unethical and dishonest,
Whence peace, truth, love and reason prevail;
Where humankind has not been fragmented into caste, language, religion, by Mandals, Netas and brokers of God;

Where values and culture unify all people, 
Where India becomes a proud and caring mother to its children,

Whence Humanity becomes our creed; 
Into THAT heaven of freedom my Father, let my Country awake.
