This is a nice tribute to India. I recently read a book that takes place in India in 1920 and before, when it was ruled by the firm hand of Great Britain. The country has made a lot of progress since then. You are a good cheerleader for it.

It has be written, at least 30 years ago, that India would skip the Industrial Revolution and leap from being a Third World nation into the First. In many ways, India already has with its dominance in computer technology and the Internet. Revolution in farming and initiative to go solar and wind over coal.

Here in America, Indian immigrants have risen to the highest ranks of all the professions, including CEOs of several international corporations. Including the vice president. Kudos to the Indian culture, tolerant of many religions working together and celebrating together. With no belligerent territorial claims over neighbors, but watchful of their inroads at the borders.

Unfortunately the grand parade on the Independence Day from England, shows a pal in the air. Air pollution that affects every citizen who has to breathe it every day.

A beautiful land, Namaste!

Lovely tribute piece of writing. That first stanza, the line: “Love the way it inches a large tribe forward.” The language of that is grande. Those introductory words for each line are stellar: “Love, See, Proud.” Carries respect and gratitude. Great conveyance of value, “….her soul….her people.” ~~ djl

Nice tribute to your homeland. The floats and parade
are similar to our Rose Bowl Parade. Glad you are back.
