I have a humble request to make on the auspicious birthday of a forgotten leader, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
The songs in the link are those that were dear to Netaji and his numerous followers of Azad Hind Fauj, and to the majority of Indians. Netaji's India and the India that we have now are not the same. We have separated. Three countries. Three flags. Three national songs. It's perhaps never going to change.
Still my humble request is this; please do not use these songs against each other, Netaji would have been extremely sad had he known that we had become each others' enemies. His dream was to free India, not to have it severed.
If we could at least become the best of neighbours, Netaji would be really happy.
Until then, please don't use the songs in the troubled borders that he never ever dreamed of. In the name of the Hind he fancied, Jai Hind.
