Conceive her in any way you wish to In any language you want to, You may choose Persian, Arabic or Any of the modern European languages To locate the hypostasis of Al Hind, Hindustan, or India, You may dig into its geological, linguistic or technological warrens And come up with religious conflict, squalor and disease,
You may as an Indian envision her As an iconographic matryabhumi, Mythologize her to serve a nationalist cause, Even transform her into a male entity of King Bharata And call her Bharatvarsha Or eulogize her rectitude and aesthetic Through the lyrics of Tarana-e-Hind,
You may imagine her as Mother India or Mother Teresa, Privileging social justice over family revenge, Serving irrefragable bahujan hitye, You may try to contain her Through your imagination, literatures, Myths, celluloid representation, but India will always have something more to prefigure.
