How much of India is Bharat
And Bharat is India
How much of the truth
Can be obscured from the media
With how much inequality
Can enough be enough
With how much inequity
Does the going get tough
With how much poverty
Can a nation be comfortable
With how much depravity
Is the conscience agreeable
With how much of inhumanity
Can humans coexist
With how much of indifference
Can the indigent subsist
How much of Bharat
Is burdened with serfdom
When will this Bharat
Wake up to freedom
How much of Bharat
Resides within me
How much of India
Bothers for thee
How much of deprivation
Is necessary for noise
When will this country
Find its voice

* Bharat(another name for India) refers to the underprivileged and the poor segments of the population

Aptly portraited Subir. I would attach “Bharat” to the earlier name of India ,the era in which indeed it seems to have been much better compared to current India! So it is always Mera Bharat Mahaan!
