India of 1960s was a much more simple and uncomplicated nation, where cynicism about the nation and its leaders had yet to take roots. People actually looked upto the national leaders.

Framed photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, Rajendra Prasad, and Jawaharlal Nehru were there in all households.

Kishore Kumar sang most of his earlier songs under the music direction of S D Burman. But he did sing under other music directors too.

When one of the biggest music directors of that time, Naushad, heard the ghazals of Anpadh ( other ghazal being ” hai isi mein pyar ki aabroo”), he found out who the composer was, and then phoned Madan Mohan and took an appointment with him.

This song is different from the usual songs that I have so far presented in this blog. For once, it is the first female solo song in this blog. But more than that, it is different in the sense that its popularity with retrospective effect among music lovers defies explanation.
