Ae mere watan.... - The song that touched many hearts

Ae mere watan ke logon is a song deeply embedded in the mind of every patriotic Indian. A mere mention of this number draws forth goosebumps.

The song was penned by Kavi Pradeep during the Sino-India war in 1962. When Lata Mangeshkar sang it, millions of Indians, including the then Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru, were reduced to tears. The song is a tribute to the sacrifice that soldiers make for the motherland of the battlefield. It also creates a bond between Indians of varied backgrounds. What helped it click was the simplicty of the words and the brilliance of Lata's flawless rendition.
