Happy Independence Day 2013 Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
Happy Independence Day 2013
A memory bounces back
And two nations celebrate again
Their hard obtained Independence.
A nation divided for no good reason
Remains in our minds recoiling
From the long lost glory of oneness.
Even as the British regime lost no battle
We believe a Gandhi and a Jinnah won their goal
Of a liberation that we dreamed to be ours for ever.
66 years since the RED LETTER DAY descended on us!
Kashmir still burns down through our nerves,
And poverty still rules over our small villages,
Two doves must be released over the divided skies
And two notions of love and brotherhood must move them together
To make the fanatics in them melt down here and there.
What if the Sunnies and the Shias shed tears for each other
And their sons and daughters make their matrimony mutual?
What if a machinery that is on par with the judiciary emerges there?
What if a masjid and a shrine stand together here
And an Allah and a Ram stand outside to guard them?
What if the majority protects the minority here and there?
And what if a smile is planted on the face of each Malala
Whom we see here and there amidst the throngs?
What if we stand together and laugh together?
We have to travel a lot on these tracks
Laid and closed now and then by our men at the helm
And beyond the iron curtain we have to see each other.
On this 67th Independence Day
I salute our heroes who toiled and died
For all our independence in kind and form.
May we close our eyes and pray to ourselves?
'Make our nations come closer and closer still
And then open a heaven on the earth for us all'.
A VERY VERY HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL OF YOU
In this context I have penned down these lines.
Wise words sir. But are you happy with the freedom that exist today in our country? Do you think we are free? If not by law and lislation but by consumerism and capitalism, we are still ruled. Happy independence day to you too, and hoping we can change a bit more to betterment what our leaders dreamt of our nation becoming.

Happy Independence Day Dinesh. Let us have another day of flag hoisting and the distribution of Indian sweets..
Hello, Dear Dinesh Nair, I am sorry, no one has reviewed your independence day versification after my regards to you. Please check why. great regards and love taj shah
Ah, Dear DineshJi, Wish you and Salute you. I wonder, rather excited to see your reflections. You have left nothing unnoticed, instead gathered all those past and present hard facts of a DREAM-NATION, its souls, their thought waves, laments, misgivings, hopes and earnest desires to be ONE to enjoy the nature-destined equality and securities; an absolute Oneness that might carry the whole humanity into heavenly heights on chariots of fraternity and Fakhr. (Pride) A wonderful verse that comprises, rather proclaims the soul-vibes of millions of Indians and Pakistanis. An elite dissection over the lands and minds. Wish you remain bathed in the glory of the most enduring literary nimbus for ever more. Cheers. Independence would become a reality with souls like these.
Marching my words in a straight line to give an honor, Happy Independence day India_Soul
Aswath, I am just greeting and shari ng a few concerns.There is no happiness over any aspect and let us bury our heads in the sand for a show.
A series of thoughts cast before us on the eve of Independence day...! ! ! .And what if a smile is planted on the face of each Malala Whom we see here and there amidst the throngs? What if we stand together and laugh together? We have to travel a lot on these tracks... so true... Flight is what is longed for by every caged bird and we exult that we are free! ! But what freedom is this when we are still manacled by the shackles of want and misery, fear and terror, intolerance and bigotry? ? Can we ever aspire for the two warring nations to be one... Let us be hopeful! ! Very powerful write Dinesh! Happy Indedependence day! !
