We all receive tons of email forwards. I've been receiving them since 1997. So much so, that I have received some of them several scores of times, although I do not have hard data to back up that claim. Hence this blog.

This video marked the birth of the slick national-integration music-videos. This first of Bharatbala productions from 1998 does make the little hair on the back of your neck stand up. It does manage to inspire pride and patriotism. Vande mataram, countrymen.

Kotikotikanth kalkalninand karale Kotikotibhujairdhritkharvale Ke bole ma tumi abley Bahubaldharinim namamitarinim Ripudal varinim mataram
(Mother, I bow to thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams, bright with orchard gleams, Cool with thy winds of delight, Green fields waving Mother of might, Mother free.
Glory of moonlight dreams, Over thy branches and lordly streams, Clad in thy blossoming trees, Mother, giver of ease Laughing low and sweet! Mother I kiss thy feet, Speaker sweet and low! Mother, to thee I bow.
Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands And seventy million voices roar Thy dreadful name from shore to shore? With many strengths who art mighty and stored, To thee I call Mother and Lord! Though who savest, arise and save! To her I cry who ever her foeman drove Back from plain and Sea And shook herself free.)
