Nine Bollywood Songs That Are Actually About Scotland's Referendum
Don't Leave Scotland
With the results of the Scottish Independence Referendum being in favour of its union with the United Kingdom, it is time to share a closely guarded secret. Whilst the common perception is that India isn’t far too concerned with what happens in Scotland (other than very real implications on its own secessionist movements -- but who cares about that?!), you will be surprised to know that in reality the main inspiration for Bollywood has been Scotland.
Here is a small selection of songs that have been directly influenced by Scotland’s wavering relationship with the UK. Fortunately, Scotland too has decided to a take a leaf out of Bollywood’s book, and stay with the hero, happily (eh?) ever after.
1) Dost Dost Na Raha Pyar Pyar from the movie “Sangam”
2) Tu Jaane Na from the movie “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani”
3) O Panchhi Pyaare from the movie “Bandini”
4) Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aaye from the movie “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”
5) Akele Hain Toh Kya Gham Hai from the movie “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak”
6) Pardesi Pardesi Jaana Nahin from the movie “Raja Hindustani”
7) Hum Tere Bin Kahin Reh Nahin Paate from the movie “Sadak”
