" "Unbearable becomes the pain in my heart — When I think of my people, broken down, broken by disease in mind and limb.<p> On the edge of life they always linger; For countless are the diseases Of Ignorance and Hunger.<p> And on treacherous paths to Slavery like children blind, they would walk behind
strangers from over the sea. <p> O, divine Land, blessed by the gods! O, ancient Mother of Culture and Art! Thy children today are spineless hordes.

Additional quotes by Subramanya Bharathi
Fools! Do you argue, that things ancient ought, on that account, to be true and noble! Fallacies and Falsehoods there were from time immemorial, and dare you argue that because these are ancient these should prevail? In ancient times, do you think that there was not the ignorant, and the shallow minded? And why after all should you embrace so fondly a carcass of dead thoughts. Live in the present and shape the future, do not be casting lingering looks to the distant past for the past has passed away, never again to return.
