This motherland of ours gave to the world

noble souls renowned in all the

continents.

It is the land which ousted the foreign

rulers and achieved freedom.

This is the sacred land which achieved

Great heights in music, literature

and science.

This divine land is the nursery of

painting,

Sculpture and other fine arts.

O devotees, it is your bounden duty to

keep

This Bharatiya tradition alive and

flourishing.

(Telugu Poem)

This glorious tradition is slowly declining these days. It is enough if man retains his humanness. But sadly man seems to have lost his basic qualities of humanness. He has even lost the right to call himself a human being. You must have the courage of conviction to proclaim that you are a human being. You must also be able to proclaim the greatness of your motherland and act in such a way as to preserve its glory and reputation. You should declare with pride, ‘This is my motherland, this is my mother tongue!’ It is sad and deporable that the Bharatiyas have lost respect and love for their mother tongue, motherland and culture.
