There are TOO many Bengali songs that are patriotic to even mention written by DL Roy, Tagore, Nazrul Islam etc.

Starting with Jana Gana Mana.... :D

My all time favourite

Aye watan aye watan, humko teree kasam,
Teree rahon mein jaan tak loota jayenge.
Phool kya cheez hai, kadmon mein tere
Bheinth apne saron kee charra jayenge.
Aye watan aye watan.

I think this one is also from the old Bhagat Singh starring Manoj kumar.

Deepak,
Ganga is actually a translation of a very old song by Dr Bhupen Hazarika. In the original version the river was Burha Luit (Old Brahmaputra) and it remains one of the anthems of Assam. Later he rewrote the song by addressing the Ganges, first to Bengali and then to Hindi (pure hindi, not the pop hindi that we hear in bollywood songs).

The song is an expression of anger and dissatisfaction at the ills plaguing our society. Its message is to urge us not to add to these troubles but instead, work for a better tomorrow. He goes on to say that we have to work NOW.

Though he composed and performed all renditions of the original song, the version on the commercial album "The Complete Bhupen Hazarika" is performed by various other artists. The above album is hardly representative of his work. The complete Bhupen Hazarika can only be understood in his full albums and his truly genuine road shows.

Ever wondered how certain jokes/jingles such as above have national notoreity? Like the song that I head above was also known to kids in Chandigarh, Delhi, Bokaro, Baroda. And so was that joke "Andheri raat thi, taare chamak rahe the, kutte bhaunk rahe the..."

Hi,

Isn't this a poem composed by an independence era poet by the name of Bismil?

BTW - the movie Ananda Math with its rendition of Vande Mataram, has a very `Alexander Nevesky'ish feel to it. It is without doubt one of the best renditions of the piece I have heard.

You know what guys, I just realized there isn't really a well documented easily accessible database of Indian patriotic poetry and songs. It would be really cool to create a database that puts following

1) Poetry,
2) Poet,
3) Song,
4) Singer/s,
5) Music Composer,
6) Movie, and
7) Historical context

into one place.

Hi Sbajwa,

Thanks.

Ganga meri ma ka naam
baap ka naam Himalaya

There is movie called Goa something..I do not recall the full name or the song...it is picturised on I S Johar and someone else. Listening to it does not make one feel that it is strictly a patriotic song but, the context/background leaves one under no doubt that it is a patriotic song. It is about liberation of Goa, IIRC...song goes like this..

Ye do (two)diwane dil ke
chale hain dekho mil ke
chale hain, chale hain
chale hain sasural (here sasural means Jail)

Sasuray (Portguese authorities) ka pyaar dekho
bheje hain gahnay (hand cuffs)
hum nein bhee dekho aaj
hans hans (smilingly)kay pehnay
hum nein bhee dekho aaj pehnay
ye do something something..sehra

Any jingo worth his/her salt should save this thread and read it from top to toe.

how about,

Yeh Desh hai veer jawano ka,
albelon ka, mastanon ka,
Is desh ka yaaron kya kehna,
yeh desh hai dharti ka gehna.

Film would be....i dont know, Dileep Kumar.......Ganga Jamuna?

If it was being done/paid heed to, it would have been noticed this song has already been presented by S Bajwa on the first page of this thread, almost in the begning itself. :)

Yes, it is from a movie stg Dilip Kumar but movie is Naya Daur (IIRC), music by O P Nayyar, movie was made by B R Chopra.

Thanks Raj.

Musician : OP Nayyar
Lyrics : Sahir Ludhianvi
Singers : Mohammad Rafi and ???
Picturised on : Dilip Kumar and Ajit.
Film : Naya daur.

Here is rough translation

Yeh desh hai veer jawano ka
albelo ka mastano ka
(This country is full of young brave souls,
unique and full of life)

is desh ka yaaro kya kehna
ye desh hai duniya ka gehna
(Ever praiseworthy this country is a jewel of the world)

Yahan chauri chhati veeron ki
yahan bholi shakle heeron ki
(This country with muscular brave men and simple graceful women)

yaha gaatein hai ranjhein masti mein
masti hai ghome basti mein
(Here young men sing carelessly and each neighbourhood is full of life and liberty)

Dilbar ke liye dildaar hai hum
dushman ke liye talwaar hai hum
(We are lover for the lovers
and swords for the enemies .)

maidaan mein agar hum dut jayen
mushqil hai ke peeche hat jayen
(If we are set on the battlefield we won't be push aside.)

In connection with the patriotism angle, don't forget the enormous positive contribution of Hindi cinema ('Bollywood', if you prefer) to the goodwill shown towards India in various foreign countries. Names like Raj Kapoor were well known and widely revered in Russia, Uzbekstan, Tajikstan, Afghanistan etc. (actually in Pakistan too, but those liars will deny it).

Sandeep Bajwa, Jumrao etc, do you guys know of a website/database that I can search to find the links between old Bollywood songs (I'm talking from the Forties, Fifties, Sixties) and the films in which they appeared? For example, "Monsoon Wedding" includes an old song ("Gori, gori, Banki chori, kabhi meri galli aaya karo") originally from an old Hindi movie. What was the movie?

Not to forget the song in which Dilip Kumar stars...

<I>"Sar kataa sakte hain lekin sar jhukaa sakte nahin"</I>

The 'rapid-fire' version of Vande Mataram is my all time fav...AFAIK this was already the way how kids used to sing it in school before they slowly converted to the new tune.

Title song from Prem Pujari by S.D. Burman:

Prem ke pujari hum hain
ras ke bhikhari hum hain
prem ke pujari, prem ke pujari

Kahaan ye himaalaa aisa, kahaan aisaa paani
yehi woh zameen jiski duniyaa diwani...

Following is not typically a patriotic song but does find emotions like these quite common in India..though the song is very much for social harmony in India but the msg does go beyond that too.. It is from the movie Dhool Ka Phool, stg. Rajinder Kumar but this song was picturised on Manmohan Kishan and an infant...sung by Mohd Rafi..

In Marathi, there are number of poems by Veer Savarkar that were put to tune by several major artists. These poems constitute the uncontroversial part of Sarvarkar's contribution to the freedom struggle.

Two of the most prominent poems are:

Sagara Pran-a Talamal-la

and Jayostu-te..

I seem to recall renditions of these by Hridyanath Mangeshkar but I could be off on that.

These are the songs I used to sing in the School Choir in 8th Standard in freezing Cold of Delhi in December(wearing shorts and knee length wollen socks) :D :

(a)
Morcha Bhikar Na Jaye
Gir Na Jaye Kaal Santri
Ise Sambhalana...
Mashaal Thhamana...
Krishn ke Swadesh, Kashmir Kesari..
Ek Aur Shatru Aaj Sima Par Aa Gaya
Madhuban Me Aag Lagi aur Dhooan Chaa Gaya
Ise Sambhalana...
Mashaal Thhamana...

(b)
Woh Din hai kitna door
Jab Apne Apne
Sab ke Sapne
Honge Pooray
Yeh Desh mera Jaage
Jag main Sabse Aage
Pawan Tirath jaise sabhi ko lage
Who Din hai Kitna Door...

(c)
Jalte Chirag
Gul na hoon
Bhujte Diye Jaloo tum
Prem ki Jyoti Kam na Ho
Gao yeh Geet Gayo tum

Top of my head Mohan Raju garu>>

("Gori, gori, Banki chori") originally from an old Hindi movie.

Is extremely unique song IIRC sung by Mannadey to the music score by Shankar Jaikishen, IT is unique because it is a hindustani(style) clasical song to the beat of western (guitar lead) music.

Very unique experimentation in those days (60s and 70s)
**********
Ok Raju Garu
go hear to listen in real audio
http://www.ganguly.de/mannadey/hindi/
I stand corrected, the Music is bu Chitragupt no Shankar Jaikishen.
The movie is
Adhi Raat Ki Baad. (13the row in that page)

Only Manna Dey can do that kind of thing.

Don't know if it has already been posted. One of the most poignant patriotic songs is from Bimal Roy's Bandini, sung by Manna Dey, music S.D. Burman, lyrics (probably) Shailendra. As best as I can recall, the song is sung by a freedom fighter as he is being led to "Fansi," as the poor, heart-broken mother is crying outside the prison walls. This is how the brave son solaces his mother. Bet you, there was not one dry eye in the theatre as the song was being played...and the same would be true today.

Mat Ro Mata, Lal Tere Bahot Hain Tere,
Mat Ro...
Janam Bhumi Ke Kam Aaya Hoon Main,
Bade Bhag Hain Mere.

Phir Janmoonga Us Din Jab Azad Bahegi Ganga,
Ganga Maiyan...
Taron Mein Tu Dekhegi,
Hasta Ek Naya Tiranga
Hoh, Mat Ro Mata, Lal Tere Bahot Hain Tere
Mat Roh.

If it was already 6/7/8 page thread it might have been understandable to some extent. But, when it is only 2 page thread and one is not willing to go thru, what is one to say? And that too, when the thread is kind of about patriotism. I don't think, it is too much for anyone to go thru 2 pages of posts which deal with patriotism. Unless it is one of those , "Me too" ....... :)

Btw that song has been posted by Vasu, if I am not mistaken, on the first page of this thread itself...Not the full lyrics.

Added few minutes later...

Sorry, it is not by Vasu but by SBA...checked it just now..
