No Terrorist Can Destroy Our Nation
By Ciniraj Mohamed

India is our beloved and very beloved Nation.
India is our mother; We love India
All the Indians are the blood of our blood 
and the flesh of our flesh.

Our ancestors lived here with peace,
unity and religious harmony.
They loved one another.
They fought against violence.
They made national integrity.
We too want to live in India as they lived.

We ever honour the great leaders 
Rama, Buddha, Jesus, Prophet Mohamed, Mahatma Gandhi etc.
Their words and deeds are our strength.
That's enough to build our nation unique.

No! No terrorist can destroy our Nation.
No terrorism can destroy our unity.
And we are proud.....
We are always proud of being Indians.
