Very few are born to leave an impact to bind a nation with music for eternity. Late Capt Ram Singh Thakur was one of those god-gifted ones whom India was fortunate to have in the right era.  When he was born on 15th August 1914 (coincidently the same day as Independence Day) to a modest Gorkha family in Khanyara village, Dharamshala, (HP), no one ever imagined that one day 1.34 billion Indians would remain united with his music of Jana Gana Mana, Kadam Kadam Badeya jaye and Sare Jahan Se achha.
