37.

My Mother India,
Many politicians, many patriots
And many revolutionaries
Offered their lives
To bring about your independence.
Among those there was a patriot,
Revolutionary, independence-dreamer
And Mother India-lover
Whose very name became
Synonymous with sacrifice.
He is Netaji,
The Leader Supreme.
Netaji, our beloved Netaji,
The year 1997 most affectionately
And most proudly celebrates
Your Birth Centenary.
Every Indian heart
Is your home.
