 Only in a world of freedom, 

Can a child unfold and bloom.
 
Only with the Sun piercing right through the dark hut, 
Can a child see the wonderful sights of this world.
 
Only in an ocean of unprejudiced love, 
Can a child speak to its heart's content.
 
Only through the eyes of soft empathy, 
Can a child see its true reflection.
 
Only in surroundings of unadulterated society, 
Can a child open its mind wholesomely and dream.
 
Only when applauded at its tiniest achievement, 
Can a child come to know its hidden potential.
 
Only in lanes without propagation of caste, 
Can a child recognize its own identity.
 
Only in the cradle of happiness, 
Can a child fantasize and create.
 
Only in vicinity of the learned, 
Can a child imbibe the essentials of life.
 
Only in the pages of medieval history, 
Can a child understand its ancestors better.
 
Only in unpolluted waters of the Ganges, 
Can a child splash its hands and wholeheartedly swim.
 
Only without discrimination of gender and status, 
Can a child flourish to achieve its goal. 
 
Only in the gentle hands of its mother, 
Can a child shield its eyes and sob.
 
And Only in an atmosphere of complete equality, 
Can a child stimulate his urge for learning, prosper and smile.
