Indian

I am a palimpsest of mankind; a cradle of civilization, mother of many religions and source of numerous philosophical thoughts. Many came to me; Kings, Conquerors, Tyrants, Philosophers and I assimilated them all. Since Yore I have been emanating the message of love, harmony and peaceful coexistence (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam). I am high mountains and the deep sea. At one place I am fertile land and at other brazen desert. Here I am tiny brook and there I become a mighty river. I am cornucopia of culture. Though I speak thousands of dialects I understand the language of Love. Today I am harbinger of many human developments. I am the power house of world. I am on the moon. I am freedom. I am collective will and voice of a billion people. I am flux; I am unity. I am an Indian; I am India.
