On Indian soil, you found yourself planted,
To fight for those whose freedom you granted;
Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost
But you carried onward, no matter the cost!
You served with utmost dedication
Accompanied by Selfless devotion;
To improve the overall education
Of our beloved nation….
But for your boundless passion
And never-ending determination
Salvation from un-education
Would have been, just an imagination.
Many horrors you had endured and seen,
Many faces had haunted your dreams;
You cheered as your enemies littered the ground;
You cried as your brothers fell all around!
Oh…. The Gandhi of the South…
This isn’t just a tribute from our mouth
Rather you can have it as a declared oath.
Taken by today’s patriotic youth
No matter the pains; No matter the strains;
No matter the struggles we come through..
With rendered body and soul, we promise you
To stand united to make all your dreams come true ..!
