In this post, I had promised some poetry on a similar theme soon. Here are links to the poems.
Swantrata ka deepak by Gopal singh Nepali. Read this poem out loud, it has a brisk marching pace to it; the third verse is my favourite.
And do you remember this one from your school days - those who studied in CBSE might; Pushp ki abhilasha - makhanlal chaturvedi
Chale Mardane - Bachchan (neither Amitabh nor Abhishek, the really senior Bachchan is the poet)
And three poems where the Hindi is slightly tougher to understand :
This power-packed poem by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar is exhorting Indians to resist the British. It’s been one of my all-time favourites, had memorised the lyrics in school. The site that has the lyrics is missing one verse, but I couldn’t find the lyrics anywhere else.
Himadri Tung Shring Se - Jai Shankar Prasad
Var De – Suryakant Tripathi Nirala
And, before we end, here's a wWebsite from which you can play patriotic and inspirational songs - www.geetganga.org.
Till next week,
Zen and Friends.
