RAJKOT: Tumse nahi darenge, marna hai ek baar to tumse ladke marenge (We will not fear you (terrorists), as we die just once, we will die fighting you (terrorists). These are lines of a song, the latest 'weapon' to fight terrorism a song sung by Anita Sharma, who shot to fame after her Gujarati Shakira song, and Chirag Thakkar, the Obama song maker.
"The urban literate youth is not ready to buy politics of hatred, terrorism and think that time has arrived for them to fight back," says Anita, a singer from Rajkot who had put Gujarati lyrics to famous pop icon Shakira's song 'Hips Don't Lie'. The video is a hit on the internet and was reportedly accepted by the popstar later.
"After the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai, we decided to make a song to charge up people who believe that they are helpless before terrorism," she says.
Joining her in the song will be Chirag Thakkar, who made headlines when he wrote and produced a video album praising US President Barack Obama and earned the name the Obama song maker. Togehter they call the song ‘Roar Of Youngistan' (Young Hindustan) against terrorism.
The artists spent over four months perfecting the lyrics, the right tune and synchronising the proper video footage (including clips from the net) with it. "The song is all about condemning cowardly acts of terrorists who deceptively inflict harm on defenceless people and terrorise the world," Anita adds.
Lyricist Amit Adhiya has nowhere tried to seek sympathy in the song. "Each line pierces the heart of the young generation, who are already fed up by meek approach against the terror attacks," says Adhiya. And, while composing the song in a catchy beat, young music directors Tejas-Rushik have captured the reprisal mood quite well.
