YES. MOTHERHOOD is something worshipful. We love India as Mother. Bharat Mata, that is, the Mother India or Bharathamba (Bharat - India, Mata - Mother) is a personification of India, and relatively recently seen by some as a mother goddess of fertility.
An ancient Hindu verse some see as glorifying her as a goddess (Mother) is:
Ratnakaradhautapadam Himalyakirtitinim (I)
Brahmarajarsiratnamdhyam vande Bharatamataram (II)
In Sanskrit (transliterated)
Namaste Sadaa Vatsale Matrbhume,
Twya Hindubume Sukham Vardhitoʃham.
Mahamangle Punyabhume Twdarthe, Patatesh kaayo namaste namaste.
Prabho shaktiman Hindurashtrangbhutaa, Ime saadaran twaan namaamo vayam.
Twdeeyaay kaaryaay baddhaa kateeyam, shubhaamaashishan dehi tatpoortaye.
Ajayyaan cha vishawasya deheesh shaktim, susheelanjagad yen namram bhavet.
shrutenchev yat kantakaakeernamaargam, swayam sweekrtan nas sugamkaaryet.
Samutkarsh nishshreyaseikamugram,
param saadhanan naam veerbrtam.
tadantas sphurtwkshaya dhyenishtha, hridyant prajaagartu teevranisham.
vijetree cha nas sanhtaa kaaryashaktir, vidhayasya dharmasya sanrakshanam.
paramvaibhavan netumetat swarashtram, samarthaa bhavatwaashishaa te bhrsham.
BHARAT MATA KI JAY
English translation
Forever I bow to thee, O Loving motherland! O Motherland of us Hindus, Thou has brought me up in happiness. May my life, O great and blessed Holy land, be laid down in Thy cause. I bow to Thee, again and again.
We, the children of the Hindu Nation, bow to Thee in reverence, O Almighty God. We have girded up our loins to carry on Thy work. Give us Thy holy blessings for its fulfilment. O Lord! Grant us such might as no power on earth can ever challenge, such purity of character as would command the respect of the whole world and such knowledge as would make easy the thorny path that we have voluntarily chosen.
May we be inspired with the spirit of stern heroism,which is the sole and ultimate means of attaining the highest spiritual bliss with the greatest temporal prosperity. May intense and everlasting devotion to our Ideal ever inspire our hearts. May our victorious organised power of action, by Thy Grace, fully protect our dharma and lead this nation of ours to the highest pinnacle of glory...

Yes, I am! But isn't it the time, when we should go beyond to show how have much more than pride do we have!
