The Pa(rad)ig(ha)m has De(finitel)y shifted

Manna rendered the title track of Paigham, which released in 1959 and was the first of two films starring the two Kumars (Dilip and Raaj).

The song, that went, “Insaan ka insaan se ho bhaichaara, yehi paigham hamara”, was penned by Kavi Pradeep.

It could be translated to, “There should be a spirit of brotherhood among people. This is my message.”

Although it would be unfair to say that those who don’t think the C Ramchandra composition is relevant toDey are insa(a)ne, it does seem that the message is lost on people over the years.
