  I wrote this nice little poem as a birthday present for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, 16 September 2014, the day before his birthday. The mother is happy to give birth to a wonderful son Because her baby boy later engaged the attention of his second mother, Who watched him carefully and started nourishing His talents and his power to invent. The child never ever disappoints her, So she too is happy to give birth to him. This rare boy developed the sea of love in his heart To share with the children of every mother in the country. While others court popularity by presenting themselves As the messiah of a particular community And shrink, as they hold office, from their responsibilities, Laying their loyalties with their family and the people of their own caste, This generous, selfless and well-liked son wins the hearts of the nation, Though he favours his family, too – but his family is the whole country – Though he discriminates against the other community, too – But that c

जो लोग यह सोचते हैं कि सनातन डेंगू है, मलेरिया है, मच्छर है, कोरोना है अतः वे इसे समाप्त कर देंगे, उन्हें चाहिए कि वे अनुश्री की इस कविता को पढ़ें। हम पीपल हैं, हम चंदन हैं, हममे ईश्वर की भक्ती, हिंसक को हमने हिरन बनाया, शान्ति हमारी शक्ती । हम स्वर्ण धातु हैं, दैविक हैं हम, आदि सभ्यता की पहिचान, परत-परत इतिहास पलट लो, सब बदले हम अब भी मानवता के प्राण । दुनियाँ को धमकाने वाले चले गये, हमें बदलने वाले खुद अपने परिचय में उलझ गये, कोहरे छाये, बादल बिजली कड़की, घनी अंधेरी रातें आईं, ओले वर्षे, कठिन कुटिल चिंगारी भड़की, किन्तु सूर्य पूरब में फिर से उसी तरह से उग आया है । आज तिरंगा मुस्काया है ! शताब्दियों पश्चात भारती गरज उठी है, अम्बर की दीवारें सारी काँप उठी हैं, महाद्वीप की महाशक्ति हम फिर से होंगे, अहंकार का काल निकट आया है । आज तिरंगा मुस्काया है !

The River Sindhu was called Hindu by Persians because they pronounce S as H. Persians named the people living on the sides of the river as Hindus. Slowly this Persian word 'Hindu' migrated to Arabia by the 13th century and thereafter to Europe through Greece. Europeans dropped both S and H and called the river 'Indu' or later on 'Indus'. Then they added their own style of suffix –ian to Indu and formed Indian. Hindustan or India emerged as the alternative names of Bharat. Thus Hindu, Hindustan, Hinduism or Indian and India became the popular word across the world. ‘Sindhu Ghati ki Sabhyata’ was translated as ‘The Indus Valley Civilisation’ in the early 1900s, when it was discovered by a British archaeologist named John Marshall. Since the term ‘India’ had become popular, Christopher Columbus set about on a journey to discover this famed land in 1492, but his ship docked in North America. He unknowingly called the island Indies and the people who lived there Red
