Today when nationality and patriotism
Seek different meaning for different people
Who are born and brought up in the same soil
I beseech them to uphold the national integrity.
And unity for the sake of freedom and independence,
Sacrificing, perhaps, a negligible percentage
of what our ancestors did.
Remember, freedom isgolden
When it has no encumbrance
Freedom is golden! This freedom has to be utilised in the right way for right purpose. Otherwise, freedom can become both troublesome and an encombrance. A wonderful message on the Independence day, dear Poet! .........10

Profound poem. It reminds me the words of Shri Rabindranath Tagore. Where the mind is without fear and head is held high.... Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up
