The title of the article may sound absurd but it’s true, as there are really some people responsible for our normal living who we simply don’t know about, and even don’t recognize. Whom, we haven’t met even once and still they are the reason why we are alive today living happily with our families and friends. They are the people about whom we think only at our national holidays or festivals and then forget about them in the rest of the days.

Yes, they are our brothers at the borders simply living their important years of life, guarding us and our beloveds. The topic is irrespective of any caste, faith or country as these friends are there in every country at every border in all parts of the world. The need is just to think about them, their pain and the discomfort they live in, saving us from each other.                  

Hindi Film Industry gave us a movie called “Haqeeqat” which is truly the best Indian Film on War and also among the best works on the topic in World Cinema. It was directed by Chetan Anand and had Balraj Sahni, Dharmendera, Vijay Anand, Sudhir and many more in leading roles of brave soldiers. Instead of talking about the magic spell of this movie and its content, I would like to talk about its immortal everlasting songs which have no parallel till date in Indian Cinema.

The most famous song, undoubtedly is

“Kar Chale Hum Fida Jann-0-Tan Saathiyon, Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon”

which is hugely famous and highly appreciated by music lovers of all over the world.

But here I would like to talk about the other two songs from the movie which don’t talk about patriotism, but talk about the pain of love and separation felt by every soldier while he is on the border. The songs make you feel the agony felt by a lover separated from his soul mate. They portray the dilemma faced by a soldier while he is there protecting the border. And these two songs are simply among the best written, sung and composed songs ever in the history of Indian Film Music.

Listen to them and you are sure going to agree……
