Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
You who claim to love the mother and the motherland, how dare you seek to chain her?
Let it be clear I am the motherland And you shall not Convert me to the fatherland.
Let it be clear That a mother loves All her children equally.
Let it be clear That when a neighbour’s child falls And bleeds, I shall feed him And comfort him, for this Is a Mother’s creed.
Let it be clear That my sons have sinned Let there not be a Sita Or a Draupadi born again.
Let it be clear That no son of man Shall control a mother, Drape her in shame, Gift her anklets of propriety, Or draw her a Lakshman Rekha.
Let it be clear I shall pray at many altars. Or none.
Let it be clear, I am your motherland, so behave, my sons.
