The rich gifts which mother India gave the world are the priceless treasures like precious cloth, grain and gold, and also her sons as soldiers to fight someone else’s war.

As seen in poem we find that the richest gift was her precious and priceless sons.

In the poem the gift of india speaker personified as mother india says that she has gifted to the world raiment(cloth), grain(agricutural produce) and gold(precious metal) this shows that india has ‘gifted’ the world,materials ranging from agricutural produce to precious metals, showing exploitation of indian resources during British rule. India has sacrificed and being looted severely during the British rule. The major sacrifice that poet depicts is the sacrifice of the brave indian soldiers that were send to fight war on the foreign lands(to the east and the west) and did not return because of unfortunate death. 

In the poem THE GIFT OF INDIA, Mother India makes a mighty claim about the innumerable gifts that India had conferred upon the Western Allied Forces, especially Britain.  Mother India says that she has given the world all the riches that she ever possessed. Nothing has been withheld, nor the richest of garments, food grains and precious metals like gold. However, there is something more priceless that India entrusted upon the colonisers, that is, the sons of Mother India’s womb who have been ruthlessly separated from her bosom and who were duty-bound to go and serve the imperial British in alien lands.

Mother India gave priceless gifts to the foreign nations which starts from grains, clothes, her immense treasure of gold, silver, diamond and what not. But the most priceless gifts which she has given to the foreign nations is the lives of her brave sons whom she sent to all parts of the world to fight someone else’s war and get the glory to them.
