Proclaiming our legacy in history,

Crowned with victory in courage,

Many languages exist here,
embracing diverse cultures,
filled with love for everyone,
I too will say, "I am an Indian."
Enduring so much pain,
we earned this freedom.
Male: Freedom!
Female: Breaking down every obstacle,
India has triumphed.
Both: Our India!
Standing tall across generations,
Both: is our history.
Our history.
Bow your head and say with all your heart,
