Embracing World, They Find Their Way

In the villages where Gorkhas reside,

An identity crisis, they silently confide.

Bound by their heritage, yet torn apart,

Between two worlds, they find their heart.

Citizens of India, with Gorkha bloodline true,

Their identity complex, their struggles accrue.

Their culture rich, their roots run deep,

Yet in the history of India, they often seek.

Caught between loyalties, they navigate,

The complexities of identity, they contemplate.

Indian by citizenship, Gorkha by pride,

Their sense of self, a journey to stride.

Their language, their customs, a source of pride,

Yet often misunderstood, cast aside.

In the melting pot of diversity, they seek,

A space to thrive, a voice to speak.

Yet amidst the struggle, they find strength,

In unity and resilience, they go to lengths.

For the Gorkha people, with hearts so true,

Their identity crisis, they'll journey through.

Embracing  world, they find their way,

In India's heritage, they proudly stay.

For in their diversity, they find their might,

The Gorkha life, a dazzling light.
