I am from India, Where uneducated politicians rule educated people,
It is a tragic irony in a nation of knowledge and wisdom.
Politicians say, "All are equal,"
Yet they create fights between Hindus and Muslims,
Dividing us with the very words that should unite.
Politicians claim transparency,
Yet we still don't know where the COVID relief funds went, Or where PM CARES money truly lies.

I am from India,A land of contradictions—both sacred and scarred, Where hope still rises like the sun,
And we seek a balance between the past and the present.
A place where beauty endures despite the wounds it carries.
