It is pure grace in the mother’s mind which is instinctive and never artificial that makes her divine. The man has to move heaven and earth to achieve this divine character.
The love that a woman bestows on her child is subtler and purer than the love she professes to have for her husband in a given moment. If a woman is asked to choose between her husband and her child, she would prefer the child with its attendant responsibilities rather than the protection of the husband. Women will not forsake her child whatever the other attractions and
inducements she is offered in her life. It is this natural grace of motherhood in a woman that finds the first mention in the Sahasranama (thousand names of Devi) as Sri Mata.

In the stories of Devi in any Indian language—She is called simply mother. Other attributes adorn her and extol this aspect of motherland.Even the awakening in the minds of masses of India for attaining independence was made in the name of Bharata Mata.Whatever are the achievements of a woman as a leader, as musician, as an athlete, as a sports woman, as a high officer or as a politican her pride as a mother is unique and unequalled.It is found in our shastras and puranas that who ever disgrace a woman falls irretrievably from grace of the Lord and loses all prosperity in this world and in the other.Women must keep this truth in their minds and make their lives worthy of this great honour and be blessed of divine grace.
My motherland is India. It is a great country. It is the land of holy men and brave men. It is the land of great thinkers and writers. The name of the Buddha and Mahavir, Ashok and Rana Pratap, Narasinha Mehta and Mirabai, Kalidas and Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru, will live for ever. India is the land of Vedas, the ‘Ramayana’ and the ‘Mahabharata’.
The world’s highest mountains are in India. They are the Himalayas. The world’s purest river is in India. It is the Ganga. The world’s most beautiful building is in India. It is the Taj Mahal. The Gir Forest is the home of lion. The scenery of Kashmir is heavenly. The Ajanta caves and the Rameshvaram Temple are world-famous. I am proud of India.India is the largest democracy in the world. It is very poor. The people do not have good food, clothes, shelter and education. Our duty is to serve India.
India is my country, my motherland. I love it and I am proud of it. India is a big country. In population it is second only to China. India has a rich and glorious past. Once it was the seat of learning. Students from all over the world used to come here to study. Indian culture spread abroad. Indian goods had a ready market in foreign countries. It was a time when India was a land of plenty.
Times changed. India fell on evil days. Wave after wave of invaders came and plundered India. India became a slave country. 'The foreign rulers exploited her as much as they could. India became independent in 1947. The foreign rulers went away. Under the able leadership of Pt. Nehru the country marched towards progress. New industries were set up. Trade increased. There were difficulties in the beginning. Kashmir was overrun by the tribals. There were communal riots Millions of people were uprooted from their homes.
India is the largest democracy of the world. We Indians enjoy freedom of speech, worship and press. All citizens have equal rights. India is rich in natural resources, yet her inhabitants are poor. The mineral wealth of the country is unexplored. Under the Union Government, new industries are being set up.
Already Indian goods are being exported to other countries. New methods of agriculture are being used to increase food production. She has already become self-sufficient in food. In the field of science and literature, India has produced eminent people like Rabindra Nath Tagore, Sir C.V.Raman, Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose and Shri H.N.Bhabha.

India is a peace loving country but she has to spend a huge amount on defence because there is danger from her neighbors, namely Pakistan and China. The present Government under the new Prime Minister is trying to befriend them. India is a land of villages with many languages but there is unity in diversity. Ours is a secular state and all religions flourish side by side.
My country abounds in glorious historical buildings and scenes. There is not a tourist who does not visit the Taj Mahal — the symbol of eternal love or Kashmir, the heaven on earth. My country is a land of temples, mosques and churches, great rivers and vast fertile plains of the Ganges and the highest mountain of the world. It is the land where civilization first blossomed in the world. Our fields are fed with perennial waters of the rivers.India is my first love and I would readily lay down my life for it if need be.
