MUMBAI: After the Indo-Sino war in 1962, the entire nation mourned for the loss of our jawans. A feeling that still brings goosebumps to every patriot was well expressed by the nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar with the song Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon, composed by C. Ramchandran and penned by Pradeep. The song, lyrics and her singing is said to have brought tears to our then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, veteran actor Dilip Kumar among many others. Cut to 2019, over half a century later, Lata Mangeshkar yet again moved the current Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi with reciting a poem inspired by his speech.

On Saturday, the Bharat Ratna recipient, tweeted a song “Saugandh Mujhe Is Mitti Ki” and dedicated it to the soldiers martyred in the dastardly attacks of Pulwama. She also mentioned that she was inspired by the speech and poem recited by the Honorable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi. The song video credits Mayuresh Pai as the music composer.
