Written by Kavi Pradeep, sung by Lata Mangeshkar

There was a war between India and China in 1962, in which India had to face defeat. After this war, Kavi Pradeep was specially requested to compose a song for the Republic Day ceremony to be held in Delhi. He wrote it beautifully and it was voiced by Swar Kokila Lata Mangeshkar. When he sang this song in front of the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru at the National Stadium in Delhi, the entire stadium echoed with thunderous applause and tears started flowing from the eyes.

Poet Pradeep wrote the song while walking on the seashore

It is said that when Kavi Pradeep was given the responsibility of writing a song full of patriotic feelings, he was very serious about it. One day he was walking on the seashore and watching the waves, when some lines came to his mind and without wasting any time he wrote those lines right there. But there was no paper available there. So he wrote the initial lines of this song on the paper present inside the cigarette box. We all know what history this song created after it was made.
