LEGION
Spontaneous
applause crescendos,
Tall
landmarks remarkable, shows,
How
soon and when lives disbelieve,
Glued
to minarets architecture live, (1)
Changing
times miraculous period,
Progress
prosperity, duet in accord,
Abashed
thatched hut disappeared,
Awash
with cash, darkness cleared, (2)
Generation,
peasants poor sufferers,
Upliftment
happy tear, live pictures,
The
picturesque village shines well,
Industry
crept stealthily skills dwell, (3)
Farming
industrialized, phenomenal,
Technology
touch inspiring, magical,
Illiteracy
little past hunts, educated,
Girl
child mass attendance detected, (4)
Octogenarians
attending school hail,
Literacy,
the touchstone, golds prevail,
Knowledge
skill elixir mixture drink,
Millennium
human life luxury wink, (5)
Rustic
sights, clean roads, electricity,
Communication
cooking match city,
Urban
growth scientific fiction date,
Out of
drawing paper diagrams met, (6)
Achievers,
technocrats, engineers lot,
Tremendous
energy effort life escort,
Mountains
were bored tunnels long,
Metal
roads to railways, lines belong, (7)
Mountain
tops, thousand feet above,
Spectacular
iron arch science solve,
Bridging
mountains, gorge scary, yet,
Awe-inspiring
construction, indicate, (viii)
Intimate
the new age, human change,
Poverty,
hunger, fever, bygone passage,
Nalanda
once lived, attracted Asians,
Blasted
by guns, invaders cruel, scans, (9)
The
country stands protected, defensive,
Warheads
war machine bit offensive,
Land
air sea today, safe, secured, hire,
Sophistication
frontline volume fare, (10)
Building
mega universities calibrate,
Innovation
invention discovery date,
Youth
millions strong skilled varied,
Doctors,
engineers, scientists, parried, (11)
They
are building their country epic,
Democracy,
freedom, equality, if historic,
Millennia
looted, plundered, tortured,
Changes
time octogenarian savored, (12)
Disbelieve
lantern kerosene periods,
Bullock
cart muddy cottage inroads,
Bare
feet, an umbrella, a torch, beetles,
Pajama
dhoti dare to visit city feels, (13)
Earthen
pots, clay hearth firewood,
Hundreds
of items, cake curry food,
Miss
large family three generations,
Under
the roof living together, wons, (14)
No more
visible split fragmented yet,
A
couple, a couple of kids, life debate,
Differs
era, youth legion workaholic,
Legion
builds the future, microscopic. (15)
