“Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.”
This noble sentiment applies so much to our country. With a culture almost as old as human civilization and contributions instrumental in shaping the world, our country India is truly one of its kind. India has borne the brunt of many invasions but time aand time again she has stood up renewed and stronger. Thus, as Indians, it is important for us to never let this feeling fade away but renew it every year to honour ourselves, our culture, and our ancestors. And yes, in this respect, Bollywood does it best with its songs and never disappoints us. With this, Jay Ho ! The Jay Kumar Show brings you the most heart-touching songs that give goosepbumps and make us feel the lump in throat.
