It can’t merely
be a coincidence that Kavi Pradeep’s* nom
de plume has seven letters and patriot is a word that has the same number
of letters.
The two are
synonymous too, as is evident from the fact that he penned and sang Aao Bachchon Tumhe Dikhaayen Jhanki
Hindustan Ki from the 1954 film Jagriti.
And isn’t it
appropriate that the composer’s (Hemant Kumar) first name is an anagram of
anthem?
(*Note: Pradeep
means light. He couldn’t have adopted a better pseudonym, because he was a
leading light in the worlds of poetry and lyrics.)
