Learn more about India, It is not a country of fear, you may call choicest of names to humilate or praise India, It depends on the mind set of the people who can go any level to write volumes in print. Tagore says when you don't have any one to walk along with you walk alone fearlessly... that is India. Good effort and I appreciate you for asking me to read your poem. Rema
nice that you asked me to read your poem, about my country, i appreciate your work, its a description -tour of my lovely country INDIA.INDIA is a great, peaceful, freindly place simply the best and we INDIANS are proud of it and even the world is proud of it.
The peom A Tale of India speaks volume of your love, information and reverence you have for India and its heritage. The entire comely gems from greenery field to thick forest, from fathomless sea to the apex peak of the Himalayas, from beautiful queen of the bollywood to the literary stalwarts, and...enthralls the readers. It is a hitorical testimonial that is envious for others and mesmerizing for the countrymen. A Tale of India is so carved in that should be prescribed for the students in schools so that they could learn and rememeber for their country. I hope you will be rememberd by this peom.
