in the broad day light as well.

We're not independent yet,
girls are still suffering,
they're still suppressed,
harassed, raped, killed, murdered
and you wish me 'Happy Independence Day' 
If a girl isn't safe, we're still not independent.

 Today we're celebrating 75 years of independence but are we actually independent? Are we actually free? Are we safe? Are we equal? 

We're still prisoner's of someone else's thoughts.
We still think about 'log kya kahenge?'
We still pass comments about a boy and a girl.
We still bother to poke our nose
in someone else's life for no reason.
We still believe that we're independent
In spite of being caged to many things.
