Vikram G. Aarella - Being Indian

Once in India lived a statesman
He was a teacher by profession,
Like both my parents, sincere and dedicated
His simplicity was very much appreciated.

He once said about the skin colour
White people are like half toasted bread,
Black people are like over toasted bread
Both these breads are neither tasty nor good.

Perfect toasted bread’s colour is brown
The colour of the people of his land
He taught them to be proud of being Indian,
He was India’s second president Radhakrishnan.
