In between crimson and green A silvery screen Displaying the whirl of triumph India! My India!!
In between colour and colour I’m Indian! the pride and power Of the flag bearers.
In between Kashmir and Kanyakumari I run for water They give me blood Studs of greenish bruise
In between skyscrapers and marble I’m the peasant Swelling and rotting in mud In the slums of scams
In between saffron and sickle I’m white Sonia The frail voice of the people Breaking on the rocks.
In between Trishul and Pokhran I’m the monkey Made to grin At the father of the nation.
In between temple and mosque I’m an orphan The gift of man for man To draw alms door to door.
In between law and teachers I’m the donkey To approve lashes and loops Authorising butchers.
In between Hubli and Killa I hear the echoes of draft national songs Jai Shriram, Jai Rahim!
In between rose…leaf…fringe I’m colourless patch Invoking tricolour Tri..colour tri..colour.
