An Indian's Blog: India Was One, page 14

Poem
She stands with arms open,
steadfast in times of turmoil,
donning the lovely tri-colors,
holy rivers making a beautiful smile.
She is the mother of pearls.
The land of festivals,
with a romantic history,
language and God of choice,
and culture has an identity.
Here music finds its voice.
Her magnetic architectures,
as old as her mysterious traditions,
hold beautiful treasures.
When people want to break her,
it so pains my heart,
the image of her future seems,
a mirror of the past.
And my dreams remain just memories.
But India has won,
you and I can live together
as one,
now and forever.

Yours for 99 cents
Dubbed as a classic, here is what people have to say:
• "India Was One" is a page turner that I wasn't able to put down. – Reader comments on Amazon.
• From the first page to the very last, I was glued to the book. – Reader comments on Amazon.
• Superb illustration seamlessly depicts the essence of the developing plot! Loved the book.... – Reader comments on Amazon.
• The author has now managed to put India on my bucket list of places to visit. I wish all my geography books had been written like this - I might have learnt more. – Reader comments on Amazon.
• If you are an Indian-American who was born in the U.S. and grew up here, you will also understand a bit more about how your parents and other extended family members from India think. Those who grew up in India will relate to the story and the characters in the story immediately. – Reader comments on Amazon.
• Reading India Was One, was like entering through a hidden portal, the reader is introduced to the rich heritage of India – Reader comments on Smashwords.
• There is growing popularity of South Asian culture and spirituality as evidenced by the growth of Bollywood, Yoga, Curry and Kirtan in the US. Bestselling books like Eat, Pray Love and The Life of PI have capitalized on that interest. In India Was One the author provides the reader with an inside view of that culture. – Reader comments on Smashwords.
• I was touched by the utterly simplistic narrative – both in style and content. It comes straight from the heart and the message is not camouflaged in a verbal cloak. – India Post Review.
• Ultimately, “India Was One” makes a statement about national identity and unity. In an age of separatism and faction, this message is becoming increasingly relevant for both Indians and NRIs – India West Review
• In places the book made me smile and in others it brought tears to my eyes. It evoked my emotions and isn't that what a good book should do? – Reader comments on Goodreads.
