Today is no Independence day…… and neither is it our republic day…. But I chose to write an article on a topic like this! You may ask why…… well, because I feel our patriotism doesn’t require a date to express itself…. so here are my pick from the best Patriotic songs of all time! I’ve tried to make it as comprehensive as possible with my limited knowledge of old films……




  1. AAE MERE WATAN KE LOGON……(non-film):  Its evergreen, isn’t it? I brought tears to Nehru’s eyes, way back after the China war…… and till now brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Especially the the lines.    ‘ Jab ant samay aaya to, keh gaye ke ab marte hain; khush rehna desh ke pyaroon, ab hum to safar karte hai……’       have been sung soo well in Lata’s haunting voice, for so much time after you hear the song, your heart still feels heavy! Aah…. Beautiful!




  2. KAR CHALEN HUM FIDA….(Haqeeqat): According to me, the song has never got its due recognition! I mean the song is sooo touching, it actually leaves you contemplating about what you’re doing with your life that has been gifted to you by those hundreds of Jawans…. Who knew nothing about you, and still gave up their lives for ‘your’ sake! The line   ‘ab tumhare hawale watan saathiyon’    says so much in just so many words! Three cheers to Kaifi Azmi for the beautiful lyrics….




  3. MAA TUJHE SALAM….(album): A.R. Rehman at his hair-raising best! I mean how good can this guy get man? He just transports you into a world of wild passion! Maybe not as ‘touching’ as the previous two songs, but the man just creates for himself a totally different class of patriotic songs! The stroke of a true genius! Just listening to the throw and passion in his voice throughout is a feeling to be experienced!




  4. VANDE MATRAM….(album): Another one of Rehman’s brilliant compositions! He just fills life into each song so richly, you                        can actually ‘feel’ him sing it! And as for the song…. its evergreen! You sing it in school, you sing it on functions…. andyou never seem to get tired of it! What a beauty!




  5. AYE WATAN….(Shaheed):  The ultimate song of sacrifice for one’s nation…. ‘teri raahon mein jaan tak bichcha jayenge’…. A simple song, but beautiful all the same…. Again for the lyrics! It makes the process of sacrificing one’s life seem such a normal affair…. lovely! And I’m already out of adjectives…….!




  6. YEH JO DES HAI TERA……(Swades):  Just when you thought Rehman was done with the patriotic songs, he pulls one out of his kitty that mesmerises both young and old! The shehnai has been used so beautifully in the song…. and the lyrics beckon you to come back to your ‘des’! This one is not just for the NRI’s guys……. Each and everyone of us has something to learn from the song! A calming song, … unlike the earlier Rehman numbers!




  7. MERA RANG DE BASANTI…….(The Legend Of Bhagat Singh):  Coming from such a good film as ‘Legend of Bhagat Singh’ did even better justice to this song…. The ‘deshbhakti ki bhavna’ was overflowing in the song…. And its also been beautifully sung! Hats off to all the artists involved in the song!




  8. I LOVE MY INDIA….(Pardes):  This is one of those typical songs one sings or performs on various functions and events…… But I will also credit it as it has not lost its innocent charm all through the years. The song is not only appealing…. but also very very sweet in its own way! For the girl in me, the song had to be a part of the list!




  9. BHARAT HUMKO JAAN SE PYAARA HAI……(Roja):  I still remember, the first film I’d watched in a theatre was Roja…… and for many days afterwards, the film haunted me! All because of one song, this one! The lines ‘Janmabhoomi hai hamari, shaan se rahenge hum’ are my particular favourites because of the sheer pride they exude! Just love the song!




  10. AISA DES HAI MERA……(Veer- Zaara): I know many of you would not agree with me on this one, but it appealed to me a lot! I have a feeling it portrayed India beautifully and also the fact that those whom we call our ‘enemies’ are also like us only! The backdrop of the Punjab ‘sarson ke khet’ is a visual treat!






So that was my personal pick of the best ten patriotic songs…… hope you all liked the songs… they’re wonderful!
