Indian Navy’s Patriotic Song ‘Kasam Sindoor Ki’ Steals the Spotlight This Diwali
The Indian Navy’s moving rendition of the iconic song ‘Kasam Sindoor Ki’ has captured the nation’s heart this Diwali, earning praise from citizens, veterans, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shared widely on social media, the emotional performance honors the sacrifices of armed forces personnel and their families. PM Modi called the song “beautiful” and said it would stay “etched” in his memory forever.
A Diwali Salute to India’s Bravehearts
Released on Diwali eve, the Navy’s version of ‘Kasam Sindoor Ki’—originally from the blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha—was reworked as a tribute to soldiers and their families. The video showcases naval officers and their loved ones singing the powerful anthem, paired with clips of naval missions, warships, and touching moments of separation and homecoming.
The lyrics—“Kasam sindoor ki, kasam tiranga ki, kasam khoon ki, kasam desh ki…” (A vow of sindoor, a vow of the tricolor, a vow of blood, a vow of the nation)—strike a chord with the armed forces’ values. The Navy’s soulful delivery elevates the track into a national ode to sacrifice and patriotism.
PM Modi’s Emotional Tribute
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who often acknowledges the military’s contributions, tweeted: “The @indiannavy’s rendition of ‘Kasam Sindoor Ki’ is beautiful. It captures the spirit of our armed forces and their families. This will remain etched in my memory. Jai Hind!”
His post boosted the song’s visibility, sparking waves of applause online. Followers noted how the video reflects the reality of military life—where festivals like Diwali are spent safeguarding the nation, far from family.
