Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it,
because I stay in a country, where we plan in advance how to celebrate holiday on
Republic & Independence day, but won't even bother to stand
When the National Anthem is played at cinema halls
Here people bargain to buy the National flag on a road side, while spending
1000s of rupees on branded cloths.
Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it,
because I stay in a country, where humanity is given no preference
Than their own community or language
Here people fight not for their daily needs but to show their fake power
Over the hardworking people.
Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it,
because I stay in a country, where Rapists, Murderers and Terrorists
Are given first page, but the soldiers who lost their lives are not even mentioned
Here the breaking news, TRPs and sensationalism are given more importance
But human lives are merely accounted in numbers.
Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it,
because I stay in a country, where a person has to prove from his looks
That he is not a terrorist, but just a normal person like you and me
Here people don’t fight for the missing identity but let people know
That even they are the part of this country.
Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it,
because I stay in a country, where seats are reserved for ladies in buses and trains
As the sign of weaker section, but they themselves never allow others to sit in their own seats.
Here women want sympathy from men, but they won't give back
the same to the needy senior, pregnant or old lady.
Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it,
because I stay in a country, where every man's ego hurts,
When someone uses bad words against their family but they themselves use it in anger,
Here using cuss words are style statement, but they don't know somewhere
Somehow they actually bring shame to their Mothers and Sisters.
Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it,
because I stay in a country, a country full of Hypocrites.
Yes, I am an Indian, And I’m not proud of it!
