Indian ethos, myth and mysticism,
Indian spirituality, religion and philosophy,
The lands and the people
From Kashmir to Tamil Nadu,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal, Assam
To Gujarat, Maharashtra
To Orissa, West Bengal
Indian culture, lands, languages,
Diets, food habits, attires,
Their history, art and culture
Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Austro-Asiatic,
Tibeto-Chinese,
Its history, politics, religion, philosophy
I could not,
Could not conclude it,
But to talk of it is not to talk
Of India and Indianism,
But our connection with Nepal,
Bhutan, Sikkim, China, Burma,
Ceylon, Cambodia, Hongkong,
Indonesia, Malaysia,
Thailand, Tibet.
Its heritage and continuity,
Long-standing tradition and sustenance,
Invincibility of spirit,
Indefatigable and indelible
Continuing from times immemorial
To till now,
How to negate it.
The varying traditions,
Customs and sects,
Beliefs and faiths
Aligning in the end,
Corroborative of
Leading to the same,
The tales of the rivers, mountains,
How to undo it
If the geographical mapping and cartography
We feel it not,
Take it not
The variations in thought, idea and sect,
Speech, complexion, food habit and manner,
This is as for vastness,
This is as for diverse landscape,
Exotic flora and fauna
And geographical structure,
India,
Indian culture and tradition,
Myth and mysticism,
History and thought.
