00:00My country, my land, my beloved land
00:05The beautiful garden of peace and prosperity
00:10For this, my mind and body are ready
00:19O my country, O my country, O my country
00:24My love, my love, my love
00:29I am proud I am a Hindustani by birth
00:33I have come as a Hindustani, I will live as a Hindustani
00:36I will come as a Hindustani in my next life
00:39And this is my biggest, for all of us
00:45Today we are witnessing 50 years of freedom
00:49For which so many great martyrs were killed
00:55Today we are witnessing 50 years of their sacrifice
01:01Just try and spread love and happiness and peace, that's all man
01:06Live and let live
01:08And remember that all of us are human
01:12I just pledge to be free, freedom
01:14I pledge as a pure citizen of this country
01:19That I shall be pure to everyone
01:22And only one thing I always say
01:24Life is too short
01:26Love each other
01:28I hate hatred happening
01:31So, from my side
01:33When you give love, you get love
01:35So I love you all, and you all love me too
01:37It has to be a commitment by every individual in this country
01:41If we want to take our country to a very high level of standard
01:49And you will find there is a tremendous amount of patriotism
01:58There in the hearts of the people
02:03Especially I will say
02:06The people who have formed the majority in this country
02:11They are the middle class people
02:13They are much more patriotic
02:15They are much more national minded
02:19And I think everybody should be honestly involved
02:25And should be honestly committed to the progress of the country
02:34And it has to be a united effort
02:37You just can't isolate yourself and think that your country will progress
02:44In any other country you have seen, they have all progressed in life
02:48When the entire nations stand together
02:51The time has come
02:53I mean, not being part of India myself
02:55I mean, I was born and brought up
02:57Though I call myself an Indian
02:59And though I am an Indian
03:01This Independence Day and stuff
03:03I don't know how it actually works out
03:05India and all the Indians, all of us
03:08Happy Independence Day
03:10Improve the country
03:12Improve the country
03:14It has been quite a mess
03:16For the last so many years
03:18Try and make it better
03:20And I wish I was a big enough person
03:22That I could do something about it
03:24I am too small, I can't do anything about it
03:26I think I have done a little earlier with my film Kalapani
03:29So I don't think that I have to do anything new
03:32Always I think a filmmaker has certain social commitments
03:38And he has to do it
03:4050th year or 51st year or 70th year
03:42As long as I can do it, I will do it
03:45I stand by my country
03:48I pledge to be with it
03:50In its happy days and sad days
03:53Because we all go through all these mad days
03:55When we feel India is not doing something for us
03:57But I personally feel
03:59We should be doing a lot for our country
04:01And whatever field we are
04:03I think India has given me a lot as a composer
04:05My name, my fame
04:07Has come because I belong to this country
04:09And I just love this country and I mean it
04:11And that's why I said, East or West, my song
04:14India is the best
04:16Or I said, messages come
04:18When will you come home?
04:20My house is India
04:22And I stand, I pledge
04:24Only one thing
04:26That I stand by it
04:28And
04:30It's a great country
04:32I as an actor feel extremely guilty
04:34I feel a lot of guilt
04:38That I really couldn't do anything for my country
04:42Recently I went to Kashmir
04:45I went to Leh Ladakh
04:47I saw the army there
04:49I met a lot of people
04:51The level of commitment they have towards our country
04:54They are also like us, citizens
04:57So maybe we can't do anything
04:59So maybe in my mind
05:01If I somehow
05:04With my commitment towards my work
05:07I can do something extra for my country
05:10I still don't understand
05:12But yes, it's true that
05:14It's the 50th anniversary of our country
05:16I have to do something
05:18Maybe I can do my work well
05:20Entertain people
05:22And make people feel good
05:24On this occasion, we will say
05:27We
05:29The techniques of our industry
05:33And
05:35We have improved a lot
05:38We want our country to progress
05:42And
05:45On this occasion, I would like to say
05:49There should be no fights
05:51Everyone should live together
05:53And work peacefully
05:56I will pledge
05:58If the situation of our country is good
06:01I will try to be good
06:03So that my society doesn't get corrupted
06:06And I will pledge that
06:08If they don't let me get corrupted
06:10Then I won't be able to do anything
06:12I generally pray
06:14And I want
06:16That all people
06:18Live a peaceful and simple life
06:20Live a life of honesty
06:22If they start
06:24Then I will be one of them
06:29We are your children
06:34O Krishna
06:36O Allah
06:38O Jesus
06:40Vaheguru
06:43We all have
06:45Your blood
06:47In our body and mind
06:51O Mother India
06:54We are your children
