MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney released his song ‘Duaavan’ worldwide Tuesday on India’s 77th Independence Day. Famous lyricist Babu Singh Maan wrote the song and Bhai Mannhas composed the music. Janjot Singh directed it. “The song glorifies Punjabi farmers who toil hard to feed the nation, it speaks about the brave heart soldiers who fought for India’s Independence and are always ready to sacrifice their lives as witnessed at Galwan recently and in every war India fought before,” said Sahney in a statement. “The song salutes the valour of hard-working Punjabis, who stood for their principles and earned fame and glory across the world,” said Sahney, a Padma Shri awardee and an acclaimed Sufi singer. “The song reminisces the joyous harmony of past Punjab - where hard work and love prevailed, the values stood at core and nourished every aspect of culture against the current Punjab, where our youth is misguided by drugs due to lack of opportunities,” said Sahney. “It depicts the current situation of Punjab and pushes us for a pause to introspect and delve upon the real concerns and the underlying problems which are surmounting our present Punjab,” said the Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab who had sung for social causes in the past too. Sahney is the founder-chairman of Sun Foundation, a philanthropic initiative to empower disadvantaged communities through its various programmes. He has been instrumental in several evacuations of standard Indians abroad. He is the international president of the World Punjabi Organisation, which is involved in several social activities in several countries.
