Dear Future of India

By Binnita Shah

We’ve been holding the baton for far too long, with a vision of a beautiful nation all along.

While we’ve made progress, some good and some grand, this baton that we hold will soon be in your hand. While the sun will soon set on us, you’ll be the new dawn. You’re the tomorrow we seek, our India, you will lead on.

When you do, build a world that shines with diversity, where each person lives their right to equality. Where biodiversity and our planet feel right, and opportunities to thrive together are infinite.

Where cities breathe air like in villages, and villages have the same drinking water and privileges. Where daily wage earners and farmers are thriving. Where women walk fearlessly and every girl child is roaring.

Where every youth is driven, skilled, and employed, where every dinner table is nutritionally filled. Where health and wellness are everywhere and obvious, and the power to fight diseases is with everyone and contagious.

Dear Future of India,

The baton will soon be in your gentle palms. Limitless is your sky, your possibilities have no qualms

Let nothing stop you, every glory is yours to take. This beautiful nation is now yours to make.

Happy Children’s Day!
