The great story of freedom struggle

a poem by Mathangi Venkatesan

The Britishers made the Indians toil,
And their blood boil,
Looked down upon us with a scorn
And felt in a superior race they were born.

They emptied our treasury,
Only to live in comfort and luxury,
In the name of giving independence,
Around us they erected a strong fence.

Among the Indians they created rivalry,
But… it exhibited our courage and bravery
Young leaders of this great nation,
Struggled for our country with passion.

They set their heart and soul,
To reach that unreachable goal,
About our culture, they endlessly spoke
And the patriotic spirit they did evoke.

To get swaraj was every man’s desire
And his heart was burning like fire
The whole country united as one,
With firm determination finally won!
