Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par

Very few songs when remade retain quality. the old one from Pyasa was a generation defining song. 1957 was the year, the movie released. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyaasa

Music of the movie is breathtaking (understatement??). Every song still has a cult status. now to take this song is quite a courage (except that Himesh takes it). I can go on with the things why i am such a big fan of Gurudutt. kaagaz ke phool is rated the best by Amitabh Bacchhan and me and my cousin. (a wiki fact Rajendra Prasad, president that time, came out of movie deeply offended) leave that. leave that. but this song was the manifestation of the anger and disappointment post freedom. 

When Rabbi plays Jan-Gan-Man in backdrop of the song, each cell of the skin starts reacting. astonishing video. in 2002 or 3 , i started reading Indian Express. it had some good cricket related columns and had excellent match reports. one day, on the front page(finally the front page), a news related to Satyendra Dubey was given. Golden-Quad project of Vajpeyee Govt was in much news. it turned out to me that the paper was infact running a story(series) (in box) with daily updates and was taking the whole follow up of the case. i checked other papers(HT, ToI,Hindu, and one more i am able to recall in hostel), the news was almost absent. it took almost a month for other papers(or maybe the issue was hotting up). and within 2 or 3 monthes there was the case of Monu at lakhimpur kheri in UP. the newspaper was following up passionately. since then, i am reading this paper. i remember when i was staying in Indirapuram, one retired Military man saw me with the paper. he came to me and said hey no one from your generation reads this paper(complimented me). it has agin gone to some wrong direction.

rabbi has done pretty bad with chhalla. which is (or form) also the cult. it lacks the energy that Gurdas mann had put into this song. but this is forgiven from me as this song jinhe naaz hai hind par, i am falling in love with.

some fool had rated the music of Delhi Heights poor in HT. Rabbi is one of the finest artists. Music and Lyrics a lot of people talk about. Somehow i liked tere bin more than Bulla ki jana main kon. maybe the wadali bro effect. it just doesn't get off head. there is distinct chill in his voice. no one arround sings like him. absolutely no one. 

problem is that the chill that made this song jinhe naaz hai super class act, messed the chhalla.

still hats off.. he sung it better than me.          

ya Elahi ye majra kya hai??

"Dil e nadan tujhe howa kya hai

akhir is dard ki dawa kya hai

hum hain mushtaq aur wo baizaar

ya Elahi ye majra kya hai"

today when i opened paper, a yahoo employee was caught for (involvement in) Indian Mujahideen's terror acts. compensation 19 lacs. a neighbourhood old man was talking on TV. he was saying that his(mansoor is his name??)father is a close friend of him. and he cud never think of such involvement. he could also foresee a conspiracy in it. other highly qualified people were also captured.

this looks strange at first but there is logic behind this class taking part in such acts. young blood is hot. its not possible to convince a 40 or 50 years old person. i have talked about aleination and problems with this. today this alienation is more prominent than 20 or 30 years back. 

muslims are today more insecure society than ever before. that makes a catalyst for such brainwash.

this can be a temporary phase. but this jihad mentality is in evolution phase. the problem i found here is that such acts are causing further alienation. situations are getting worse. maybe it has come to US versus THEM or it'll come soon. what is happening in such case is that if i have to make a choice then it is clear which side i'll be. and same can be said about any ordinary muslim because he'll feel safer with his own community. people who had make this choice are creating further divide.

maybe someday we'll get over this just like other things in past like Khalistan.

and maybe we'll not. HuJI in bangladesh has started a political wing whose manifesto says that it'll work to bring back Shariyat of 7th century. this sounds insane to anybody else than muslims.

i dont know but if Islam is too rigid a religion to accomodate any change. every progressive thing apears like attack on their culture. Male polygamy cud had been a nice idea for Hajrat Mohammad's time but today its absurd. same goes for Jihad(for its original contexts in tribal wars.) Now US and Indian cultures are HARAM and they are Declared biggest enemies of Islam.

What is the reason that a religion is going back to further past?? remember it was not always same before 90s. 

i dont know.. i dont know...

Amar singh is saying that Delhi encounter was fake and maybe Delhi police itself killed Sharma and he will provide legal support to people who were caught there in jamianagar. The Jamia University is also 'suspecious' about the encounter. this is called national shame that even acts of terrors can not unite the nation's political leaders.

Now listen to this. In parliament attack case, son(??) of Sayed Gilani(Hurriyat leader) was given capital punishment from lower court and SC found him innocent. When Dr. Haneef's case in Australia was in limelight, i read a artical written by a senior journo in HT based on telephonic conversation between him and Gilani son. He told our journo about details of hearing.his crime was that some 'Objectionable Documents' were found on his hard drive. He told Jury that he downloaded it from a site and anybody can download it. Judge asked police and they sent a request to IT ministry if they cud download it. they replied negatively. gilani asked judge to bring the computer and that he cud download it in front of jury. on next hearing, a computer was brought in courtroom. complication was that it needed Internet. for that a telephone connection was also needed. Judge Aggarwal(??) said he wont let happen any act against country in his court. so mr. Gilani is found guilty. no wonder what SC did.

this happens in a court based on laws of objective evidences. 

no way i can support such generalizations. its sad for muslims as an increasingly alienated community WRT to the whole world infact. but is Jihad the answer?? is the reaction by such educated youth justified??

here in this world, everybody needs to do soul searching. but some need it more than others. no mistakes, i am talking about Muslims. no liberal leadership. radical youth. conservative(too much) religion.

Ghalib akhir is dard ki dawa kya hai?
