Liberty Statue Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

liberty statue
Sunday,28th October 2018

the liberty statue of Vallabhbhai Patel shall be inaugurated
in the memory of great statesman who united
Indian princely states
and opened the gate for others
to make India stronger

Inain map was not the same as of today
the British authorities were to be blamed
who not only demarcated blindly
but formed lines on paper unthoughtfully

Hindu rules were given tempted offers
some of them opted to join later
The government took strong action
and states were brought under control after integration

Goa and Hyderabad states were adamant and resisted
but the good sense prevailed
later on they were persuaded
and were smoothly added

the great show was out up by An Indian Armed forces
they utilized all the sources
fought bravely in favor
and earned an honor

Such was the contribution from the great statesman
we are all proud of his statesmanship
he was successful to keep One nation intact
all the states were to function under one umbrella in fact
