After the continued success of 'Dafa ho ja' and now 'Bruah', UK born vocalist Foji Gill is set to release a tribute track dedicated to the life of decorated Indian freedom fighter 'Bhagat Singh'.
Bhagat Singh was one of the most influential figures in the Indian Independence movement; a powerful leader, Bhagat Singh alongside Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged by the British Government.
Although playing an priceless role in the independence movement, it is individuals such as Bhagat Singh & others who have been forgotton by the history books of today, instead suggesting that Mahatama Gandhi was the sole individual responsible for India gaining independence. It is this legacy of Bhagat Singh which needs to be remembered by the youth of today.
With the topic close to Foji Gill, the single 'Bhagat Singh' will be releasing early August, and will be a reminder to the achievements and sacrifice made by Bhagat Singh and other forgotton freedom fighters of the Indian independence movement. A video for the single was shot in India, with Foji Gill ensuring that no corners have been cut for this special project.

All those Indian music experts on here who have said he's rubbish, he can't perform, voice has been altered blah blah, see the link below... the Times of India seem to have noticed him.

This thread is about this track. Within a song and a video, Foji has produced an epic of Titanic proportions. If you listen to and understand the words, it is a proclamation that should ring through the ears of any Indian who has the slightest interest in their own history.
If you've ever watched Dead Poets Society, remember the line "The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." The play is the our world, and the verse is what we contribute to it within our lifetimes. Until you have written a verse that is better, more inspirational, or more memorable than Foji's.... don't diss it.
