This week, we celebrate our Independence Day and Saintunes, a creative outfit in the city, headed by R. Kumar Narayanan, has composed a patriotic song in Hindi. The number has been sung by him and playback singer Rita, supported by N. Ramanathan and Harish.
“The lyrics of Hey Hindustan are by Uday Meghani, who is with AIR, and I have composed the song as a tribute to our nation. It reiterates that we, as citizens, should value the freedom obtained thanks to the sacrifice of thousands of freedom fighters. It is also a tribute to the defence forces for safeguarding our nation by keeping awake with watchful eyes thereby helping civilians sleep peacefully,” says Kumar.
The song is supported by a video compiled from stock images, and uploaded on YouTube. “The visual starts with children, as they are the future generation, and ends with the Tricolour flying high against the blue sky,” explains Kumar.
