A song, which is
already iconic, assumes epic proportions
when a dig, which is far from subtle, is taken at it decades later.
That’s exactly
what happened in the case of Yeh Desh Hai
Veer Jawaanon Ka from Naya Daur.
Sahir Ludhianvi penned
the track, which was rendered by Mohammed Rafi and the little-known S Balbir.
When there’s a
discussion on songs with a dash of desh-bhakti,
there seems to be a tendency to ignore the O P Nayyar composition, which was three
minutes and twelve seconds long. While it was obviously different, that’s
inexplicable.
