Of my country been swept away?&lt;br&gt;
Why is it that Indians, I feel.&lt;br&gt;
Are proud no longer of their country today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where is the leadership of Gandhi&lt;br&gt;
That had kept us united, from dusk till dawn?&lt;br&gt;
Where has the sacrifice of Netaji&lt;br&gt;
That inspired millions gone?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Where is the idealism of Nehru&lt;br&gt;
That enthralled the east and west?&lt;br&gt;
Where is the dynamism of Patel&lt;br&gt;
That had no time to rest?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
