Independence Day ( India )

1. 15 August, 1947

Down the ages
With the turn of pages
The Glory of India*
From Kashmir to Kanya

History books reveal all
Should make us stand upright and tall
Our hearts be filled with pride

2. Celebrations!

Remembering India's every stride

Battles lost and victories won
A lot of bloodshed has been done
Wake up children, wake up fast
Our country India, so very vast

Needs hands and minds to toil
Reaping harvests from the soil
No other country God has thus filled
And earthly goods maketh mills

Dependent we very much were
Has been taught by our history sir
From cloth to needles we are sure
Came across the seas in full measure

Thanks be to God for showing the way
Help us to remember Independence Day
No more blood to be shed
No more traps into be led


Notes:- 


*Golden Age of India


a) Ancient India
The period between the 3rd century and 6th century CE ( Common Era also known as AD) is known as the Golden Age of India because of the large achievements Indians made in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, science, religion and philosophy during the Gupta Empire. The decimal numeral system, including the concept of zero, was invented in India during this period. The peace and prosperity created under leadership of Guptas made remarkable scientific and artistic activities in India possible. 

3. The Gupta Empire around 500 AD

b) Medieval India
South India in the 10th and 11th century CE under the imperial Chola Dynasty has been called Golden Age as well. The period saw extensive achievements in architecture, Tamil literature, sculpture and bronze working, maritime conquests with extensive trade, and quasi-democratic reforms. ( wikipedia )

of its power ( 1050 AD )
