Kavita Krishnamurthy: "Desh ke liye gaana sirf ek performance nahi, ek emotion hota hai"

In this heartfelt reflection, Kavita Krishnamurthy speaks about the deep emotional and cultural importance of patriotism, music, and unity in India. She recalls how stories of great leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi, and Subhas Chandra Bose shaped her understanding of the nation while growing up. Though her generation did not witness independence firsthand, these narratives, along with songs like Jana Gana Mana and Vande Mataram, became an integral part of her identity. She highlights how music has the power to dissolve divisions—whether of religion, region, or personal differences—reminding people of their shared heritage. Referring to legendary artists like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and Manna Dey, she emphasises how generations have grown up listening to the same voices, fostering a sense of unity. Krishnamurthy also shares her emotional experience of singing alongside icons such as Jagjit Singh and witnessing the collective spirit of artists like M. S. Subbulakshmi, M. Balamuralikrishna, Bhupen Hazarika, Hariharan, and Pandit Jasraj. Despite their diverse musical traditions and regional backgrounds, they came together in harmony, symbolising India’s unity in diversity. She concludes by expressing her belief that music and artists play a vital role in strengthening national integration. Beyond fame and success, moments like singing the national anthem carry a profound emotional weight—offering a sense of pride, peace, and connection to the nation. #KavitaKrishnamurthy #IndianMusic #Patriotism #UnityInDiversity #NationalAnthem #JanaGanaMana #VandeMataram #IndianCulture #LataMangeshkar #AshaBhosle #MannaDey #JagjitSingh #Hariharan #PanditJasraj #MSSubbulakshmi #BhupenHazarika #IndianArtists #MusicForUnity #ProudIndian #IncredibleIndia This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
