15th August 1947 ….the golden day in the history of India! The day when the great freedom soldiers, the nationalist leaders gave our presented our country the “ultimate” gift of freedom… and today, 59 years later…this day still holds a very very very special part in the lives of all Indians…. May be some of us don’t believe in exhibiting this feeling of patriotism and thus, they confine these feelings to themselves only…. Whatever it is….the fact remains that all of us have immense amount of love and respect for our country… our day to day activities may not leave much time for us to think about how great our country is, or how much our country means to us…. But there are these special occasions, like Independence Day, Republic Day…..etc. which makes us feel all the more patriotic…. Not that patriotism is only confined to these days, ….just that these days just give us a chance to show-case or potray our feelings for our nation….
And when it comes to showing your patriotism…what better way than to present it through the means of music…. Music is one form of art which has always been a strong medium through which we have been expressing our love for our motherland… *our true feelings of patriotism…when presented in the form of a poetry….and performed in the form of a melodious song….takes this feeling of patriotism to another level….
And so…here goes the list of 10 of the patriotic songs which can actually stir your soul and charge you up completely on this special day…. So….sing along…VANDE .MATARAM!
* Jana gana mana adhinayak jaye he…
Bharat bhagya vidhata….*
Yes…our National Anthem, written by the greatest Indian poet of all times….Rabindra Nath Tagore….is ofcourse, the ultimate patriotic song…. Whenever it is sung… you are somehow bound to show respect…. Not only because it is our National Anthem, …but because of the song itself! The way it has been worded, its tune, …it somehow captures the whole essence of nationalism…. And that is why it is out natinal anthem…. Hearing the tune of this great song, ….it will force you to show respect…that is the power of this song….

Hindustaan hamara….hamaraa….*
Sing this song and you’ll automatically experience the magic….the pride of being an Indian…. The lyrics of the song…simply shows how much we love and respect our motherland… and what place it has in our lives….

* Vande maataram….
Sujalaam sufalaam malayaj shitalam….*
The original version of the song “vande mataram”….is one of the most melodious songs of all times… although this song is in Sanskrit, and that makes it a little difficult to comprehend, but nevertheless the feeling of patriotism is not depended on any language, isn’t it. This song can actually move you…. And leave behind a rather “sweet” feeling… a real peaceful song!
* Aye mere watan ke logon
Zara aankh mein bhar lo paani….*
Patriotism at its “senti-est”…is all I can say about this one… its known to everyone that when Lata Mangeshkar sung this song, it really had Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in tears, but even after 59th years of freedom, you hear this song, …and your soul is bound to be shaken and stirred… its perhaps one of the greatest songs which is dedicated to our soldiers and jawaans… each and every line of this beautiful song depicts the pain and agony our soldiers have to go through while fighting at the border…. A masterpiece…this!

* Mere desh ki dharti…
sona ugle, ugle here moti….*
A song fro Manoj “bharat” Kumaar’s movie….its one desh bhakti geet, …which you can really shake a leg to…. This song basically is a celebration of freedom, a celebration to show our love and gratitude towards our country… it instills in you…the feeling of pride and just makes you jive and have a good time…. praising your desh….
* Har karam apna karenge…aye watan tere liye…
