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.
