Listening to this unparalleled composition of our National Anthem is always magical for me. So Proud to be an Indian and so proud of my country. Such a diverse country, such a lovely country. A country that has harboured every religion and refugee since ages.
As Rabindranath Tagore says "Here Aryans and Non-Aryans, The Dravidians and the Chinese, The Sakas and the Hunas and The Pathans and Moguls all are mixed, merged and lost in one Sea"
We are the land of Nalanda, The Ashoka and The Akbar, A land where Civilization has existed with continuity since it's inception.
No doubt we have many challenges, but no country is the history of humanity has progressed so fast without compromising on democracy, diversity and pluralism.
My heart swells with pride when A R Rahman sings our National Anthem, when D K Pattamal adds her beautiful voice to it and so does Bhupan Hazrika.
'We the People of India' remain resolute in our conviction and determined in our commitment to serve our great country and to contribute our best in making this world a better place.
