Original Submission by Madhavi Rathi
लोकतांत्रिक श्रीकृष्ण: भारत
विश्व का सबसे बड़ा लोकतंत्र, श्रीकृष्ण-सा गहन मंत्र।
पंचशील-पंचमहाभूत का संग, धर्मरक्षक-जन का रंग।
पंचायती राज की गूंजित तान, स्वशासन में रचा भारत महान।
कौरवों की गर्जना गई व्यर्थ, प्रभुत्ववादी चालें हुई विफल।
श्रीकृष्ण ने शिशुपाल के सौ अपराध, किए स्वीकार,
पर आए जब वह सीमा लांघ, तब चलाया सुदर्शन-सिंदूर।
रणनीतिक स्वायत्तता की उड़ान, भारत बना वैश्विक पहचान।
संसद की स्थिरता है महान, विवाद नहीं - हो विचार का स्थान।
नागरिक हों जन-केन्द्रित, न स्वार्थ में हों संकुचित।
समान भागीदारी, प्रतिनिधित्व, सहयोग, दे समान सम्मान का संयोग।
विकसित भारत का सपना साकार, जब तीनों स्तंभ हों मजबूत आधार।
जागरूक, जिम्मेदार नागरिक बनें, तभी स्वर्णिम भविष्य रचें।
