On the occasion of the 63rd republic day of India (26th january 2012), we are discussing a few patriotic songs today.
Here is a song of this genre from “Aakraman” (1975). This song is sung by Kishore Kumar and it is picturised on Rajesh Khanna, who plays a handicapped person who has lost one leg and is forced to walk with the help of crutches. He sings this patriotic songs to encourage the Armymen who are proceeding to the battlefield. The picturisation also shows Sanjeev Kumar and several others play fauzi jawaans in this song.

Ye mulaaqaat ik bahaana hai

I was not sure how many songs I will be able to discuss today since I am undertaking a long 20 hours journey by train and going by my past experience, I know that internet connectivity is a problem during that time. But I am pleasantly surprised to fingd that the internet has held up for nearly an hour. It helps that the train is passing through an area which is a metropilital city and as such good connectivity is assured as long as the train remains in this area (which means for another 10 minutes). So I may as well make the most of it.

Kya nazaare kyaa sitaare

In 1970s, when I was growing up as a pre teen kid, I had noticed that Gulshan Nanda was the most popular Hindi novelist. His novels were read by all grown ups. Kids were not supposed to read such grown up stuff. Being a precocious and eager kid, I managed to read a few Gulshan Nanda novels even then and I loved the novels. I wonder what was low brow in these novels (as alleged by literary magaziones of those days).
