On India’s 71st
Independence Day, it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that producer, director and
actor Raj Kapoor, lyricist Shailendra, composers Shankar Jaikishan and singer
Mukesh defined patriotism differently, but accurately.
It doesn’t Mat(hu)(te)r
if one’s shoes are Japanese, his trousers are English or the red cap on his head
is Russian, as long as his heart is Indian.
In fact, Mera Joota Hai Japani, from Shree 420, continues to make every desi,
regardless of location or age, proud.
Incidentally,
the track, which is four minutes and 33 seconds long, became popular in Russia
too.
