Sometimes, love does not need words and expressions. On others, every elaborate praise seems to best fit our emotions. But when the object of one’s affections is one’s country, things are likely to get intense. We have had poets writing songs about their love for their countries for centuries, and almost every time, these songs strike a chord in us. Deep down, we all long to feel a sense of community and belongingness, and patriotic songs are an effective vehicle for that. With that, we bring you 20 Hindi patriotic songs that’ll speak to your soul.
