Thanks Vipin for providing such wonderful details. Yes, true the tune was from the old version of 'Mile Sur Tumhara' was simply awesome. It touches the soul. The video was also done so well where the new version of the same song could not achieve that much though it is also done very well. Regards, Jeets How does music affect us in our daily life

Nice of your Bipin to share the important information on 'mile sur mera tumhara'. Though we all had been watching this song mostly on Doordarshan during childhood days, we never knew this information about the song. In fact the song arouses the spirit of patriotism in most of the Indians and I am sure this is remembered much by all ----------------- Thanks & Regards Kalyani

thank you a lot Bipin sir for reminding me of this wonderful composition. This was one of my most heard songs and it was the only one which I understood as I was really young when I heard it for the first time. It was on the DD channel on TV and really settled in my mind since then. Every now and then I hear it as it is sung by many famous singers in tandem. Also, the lyrics are so gorgeous and inspiring that one cannot simply avoid humming it when ever it is being played on the TV or any where else. I have loved it very much and the version in which so many famous singers take turns in singing each line of the song really explains its true meaning. Unity in diversity and the title means that your tune and my tune may/shall meet into a single song! Hakuna Matata: Proact instead of reacting

Here when we are talking about the song " mile sur mera tumhara " then I also want to share a detail about this song The Famous classical singer Bhimsen joshi who was not willing to sing few lines in any song who is the first person seen in the video of this song at . The director and other member related to this song ask him to sing the whole song but at the time he came to know that Bhimsen joshi is only for 45 seconds in the video firstly he was angry at all the people related to that song but after seeing the song he was quite happy as the song shows the different culture, religion and heritage in one place. And also shows our culture of "unity in the diversity". Now he is no more in this world but with this song his voice will always remain alive in our hearts.

This is very good song which shows different languages and cultures in India, but still we are one as India. I had listened this song when I was teen, at that time there were no dishtvs in every home and we have to see the one channel and that was Doordarshan. This was always played at that time and is very nice one! Regards Sachin R. Kukale Forum Editor. JEE mains exam preparation tips

Thanks for sharing this great information in this forum section. This song reminds me of my childhood days. We have grown up hearing this melodious song which was sung by many veteran singers. The lyrics, music, location everything of the song is still heart touching. This song contains 14 Indian languages which symbolizes the unity of our cultural diversity. This grand song awakens our feelings of nationalism. All Indian people love this song from core of their heart. It will remain as one of the most popular songs for all generations.

Unfortunately this famous song is played only by the Doordarshan during the interludes. Other channels should also play this lovely National integration song which brings all the celebrities to one platform. Use this forum wisely and get recognition instantly. Platinum through forum

An excellent composition of song and music with wonderful lyrics that unites Indias all states and speaks about the good culture of our varied land. The picturisation of the song is very superb. I like it and love it for ever. It will remain in our heart until our last days. We should appreciate the composer, the lyrics writer, the music director and the actors and all technicians who has taken pain to produce such a wonderful gift to Indians. We are proud with "Mile sur mera tumhara" Regards, Hard work never fails to yield good results. Creative Sun ISC's 1st "CREATIVE" Badge Recipient

Yes Mohan sir, I too think it is really unfortunate that only Doordarshan plays such patriotic songs and verses every day. In my childhood, mostly my dad did not support having a cable TV connection as he believed that it simply ruined the children by addicting them to unwanted serials, cartoons etc. Hence, all I had was this DD and I am really proud and glad to say that I have heard this song countless times on DD. How ever, as recently, my dad changed his mind and we finally got cable TV, I was really surprised to find that not even a single channel played such songs, not even close. Not even once a day are such patriotic songs played. Also, these are only played during national festivals and the reason is obvious. They only want TRP ratings and will do anything and everything for them. Really sad on the part of the Indian television network. Hakuna Matata: Proact instead of reacting
