Oh mother! It has been a long walk for you. you have been travelling in a path filled with hard stones, thrones and bullets and rarely with petals since the day of your emancipation.? Do you deserve it? Thugs, Huns, Mangols,Muslim invaders, the British, no body could threaten you as much as you hav been threatened to day. You are bleeding. Yet you are walking. I am speechless looking at your amazing endurance!! I wish you walk tall eternally.
