Amid the heavy burden of the days of slavery
Confronted by the tyranny of Imperial law
Lives a comrade and a freedom fighter
With a faith in dream that is not but must be-
The dream of freedom for the colonized Mother India.
We salute the immortality of those heroes.
Their courage and strength death can not touch
Their songs of freedom time can not erase.
We the children of Mother India
Will always be indebted to them.
VANDEMATARAM!
Happy Independence Day India!
Happy Birthday Sri Aurobindo!
The most of the wordings for this short note have been taken from Sri Aurobindo's Savitri to shape it as a tribute to freedom fighters. Sri Aurobindo himself was one of them.
Today is also the birthday of this great man.

Wonderful write on freedom fighters...liked it a lot....full score
A glowing tribute to the Freedom Fighters of the yore. They sacrificed their lives, so that we live free. But, do we? Today our freedom is at stake. The world is crumbling. Myanmar is under military junta. Afghanistan is under Taliban.
An Ode that deserves top stars. Thank you so much dear Savita ji.
