Bharat Mata ki Bharat Mata ki tum jai bolo jai
Bharat Mata ki jai
Sone ki chidiya dengue malaria
Gud bhi hai gober bhi
Bharat Mata ki jai
This is the song from the movie Shanghai. Personally I like the song, but there are few folks who don’t like it. Well everybody has his own taste and views. But there are some people not only against it but also want to ban it. There is a group on Facebook where someone has posted the song lyrics saying that this song has to be banned because it states that there is dengue, malaria (diseases) and gober (may be he is relating this hindi word with the dirt and poverty, well I don’t know) in our country. I think he took it as insult for our country. But he’s not the only person; there are many other who think in the same way, because that post got few likes and comments in its favor. Well I’m not following the post so I can’t tell the current status; but I think that these people don’t understand the proper meaning of the song and that’s why they are saying such things about it. I haven’t watch the movie till now but the meaning which I got from the song is that it shows the paradoxical condition of our country. On one side we have increasing economy and buying power while on other side there is increasing poverty and inflation rates. On one side there is improvement in health and medical facilities, on other side these facilities are out of common man’s reach just because of high prices and of some corrupt officials. So we can say that this song describes the condition of our country in pretty good and musical manner. At last with reference to this song I want to say that before opposing or rejecting/supporting or accepting anything first try to understand the true meaning and importance of that thing.
