Our national animal is the tiger
It’s a carnivorous one
Our national sport is hockey
To play, is really fun!
Our national flower is the lotus
It’s coloured white or pink
Our national bird is the peacock
It’s the colour of blue ink!
The national colours on the flag
Are saffron, green and white
On Republic Day, it rises,
Swaying like a kite!
Our national anthem was written by
Rabindranath Tagore
Our national fruit is the mango
It tastes both sweet and sour!
I shall always be proud
Of India, my nation
Looking after its interest
Will always be my passion!
