It is with great pleasure that Team Politeia presents before you, Youth Parliament
2023.

बोल कि लब आज़ाद हैं तेरे


बोल ज़बाँ अब तक तेरी है
तेरा सत्ु वाँ जिस्म है तेरा
बोल कि जाँ अब तक तेरी है
दे ख कि आहन-गर की दक ु ाँ में
तंदु हैं शोले सर्ख़
ु है आहन
खल ु ने लगे क़ुफ़्लों के दहाने
फैला हर इक ज़ंजीर का दामन
बोल ये थोड़ा वक़्त बहुत है
जिस्म ओ ज़बाँ की मौत से पहले
बोल कि सच ज़िंदा है अब तक
बोल जो कुछ कहना है कह ले

Inspired by these simple lines that signify the essence of a democracy, the motto
of our club states - Liberum Expressio - Latin for Free Expression. We began the
journey with the simple goal; to create a place for all people to express
themselves and grow together. Today, we extend that opportunity to the ISC
Section of our school and hope that they are as excited as we are!
The previous years Youth Parliament had done a splendid job in creating a
interest in the minds of the students for the Indian Politics. They provide the
students a platform to voice their opinions, engage in discussions and actively
participate in a simulation of a modern political world. Their dedication,
enthusiasm and innovative ideas showed us that the future of our country has a
bright future.

We request our honorable Director-Education and Principal, Dr. Revathi


Srinivasan ma’am to enlighten us with a few words of wisdom.
