Mere
Desh
Ki
Dharti
(Upkar)
One
of
the
oldest
patriotic
songs,
'Mere
Desh
Ki
Dharti'
from
Manoj
Kumar's
Upkar
was
penned
when
the
country
was
facing
acute
food
grain
shortage
due
to
low
productivity
post
the
1965
India-Pakistan
War.
Back
then,
former
Prime
Minister
Lal
Bahadur
Shastri
coined
the
'Jai
Jawaan
Jai
Kisan'
slogan
to
cheer
farmers
to
put
in
their
best
efforts
for
increased
production
of
foodgrains.
'Mere
Desh
Ki
Dharti'
song
aptly
captures
the
spirit
of
those
times.
