Now only a lyricist was left, and Rahman chose Mehboob, the once-Pet Shop Boy who had written songs for Bombay, Rangeela and Daud. Says he: "It's easy making a masti number but this was challenging." Rahman the singer too, once the portrait of a reluctant artiste, was ready to be seduced.

Rahman the music director, chained by film music, was seeking fresh adventure. Was a smiling God watching, for again the timing was uncanny. Not any song, but a song for one people that could tug familiarly at old hearts and yet beckon new ones.Ī new Vande Mataram sound to catalyse an entire country: this brief in his brain, Bala went to see the only man he believed could invent it. "I needed something to bridge the gap between the freedom fighter and the young," says Bala. It was the sound of freedom maybe, but it was a sound from the past. To say Vande Mataram was not cool in India anymore. To hear him talk, about meeting Nelson Mandela and Lech Walesa, and getting them and every Indian to say Vande Mataram, was to roll your eyes, clap him on the back and say 'impossible'. Now he could do something for a nation his father fought for this was 1996, and a challenged son responded. Bala must have grown up hearing these stories. Ganapathy, a man for whom Vande Mataram and the national flag was life. "I do not like what this country has become," says V. Who started it all? A dismayed father but of course.

Rahman who surely feels ill at the mention of the word "prodigy" and a lyricist named Mehboob who once ran a pet shop called Fish & Bird. Ganapathy, a freedom fighter a music director A.R. Bharat ("call me Bala"), with an eager face and an impressive stomach, and his spirited wife Kanika his father V. To see these people at first glance is to wonder of that dream. It is instead a story of four men, one woman, one idea and evidence that a dream can stir a nation. And Mandar Thakur of Channel V says: "We feel this is the official Independence album and it will sell well over the years." Nor is it a tale about a once-considered-Hindu chant of Vande Mataram taken by a young Muslim singer and given a more contemporary edge and a more encompassing patriotism. Though Sony Music say they have sold five lakh cassettes in the first week. This is not to offer proof of this phenomenon. In any other time it would have been something just to talk about in the 50th anniversary of Independence it has the promise to become an alternative anthem. But more than being just complete, this song that is capturing a national imagination, has that quality of impeccable timing.
