Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon- Violin Cover | Lata Mangeshkar | Dr Sharang Agarwal | Pradeep | C Ramchandra

Presenting before you an instrumental (violin) cover of the patriotic song 'Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon', originally performed by the legend Lata Mangeshkar ji for the first time on 27th January, 1963 at National Stadium, New Delhi, a day after the Republic Day, in the presence of dignitaries like Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (then President) and Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru (then Prime Minister). It was written by Kavi Pradeep to commemorate the Indian soldiers who died in the Sino-Indian war (1962). The writer/lyricist was so moved by the casualties of the war that while talking a walk on the Mahim beach (Mumbai), when he got inspired, he borrowed a pen from a fellow stroller and wrote on a foil from the cigarette packet that he was carrying. The music of this immemorable song was given by C. Ramchandra. Such was the impact of this performance on Pt. Nehru that it moved him to tears. The royalty of this song was pledged to the War Widows Fund.
Personally, this song is really special to me. It marked my life's first violin performance on stage, when I was 6 years old, a snap of which is included in the video. it would not have been possible without the able guidance of my teacher, Dr Bhanu Pratap Bannerjee sir. No words can describe what I felt while recreating this song.
I really hope you like this one.
