#Independence Day special: Top patriotic songs that would give you goose bumps this Independence Day

Another one from Shah Rukh Khan’s films, this movie is an inspiration in itself. However, there is something special about the title track, sung by Sukhwinder Singh, which fills us all with the desire to do something for the nation and make it proud. Penned by screenwriter Jaideep Sahni, the music for this song was composed by Salim and Sulaiman Merchant.                 

Isn’t this the movie that made an entire generation aware of its patriotism? The title track of the movie is filled with passionate lyrics, with Rang De Basanti, the war cry of Indian Independence Movement, perfectly inculcated to immortalize the sacrifice of those who took part in the movement. Written by Prasoon Joshi and sung by Daler Mehendi and K.S Chithra, this song had its music composed by maestro A.R. Rahman.

Another jewel by Mozart of Madras A.R. Rahman, this is probably the first patriotic song that the Indian youth remembered by heart. Written by Mehboob Kotwal, this song is the perfect tribute to our mother India, and voices the feelings of every Indian who shares the love for his/her country.

The iconic song from Purab Aur Paschim describes why India is different from every other country in the world was sung by Mahendra Kapoor and written by Indeevar, with music by Kalyanji Anandji. The song has everything in it, which would make you sit back and take pride in your nationality.
