The best of these songs depict the ordinary Indian life, and that is what them so extraordinary!
Best Songs on Common Man's Life
The life of a common man has undergone a lot of changes in the last century. From a colonized, highly impoverished mass of people that were exploited for centuries, the common man has gradually stood up with aspirations, worked hard, often failed, faced disasters, consumed by anger, held by dispair, and yet never gave up. In fact, the story of an ordinary Indian was still not bad if a comparison is to be made with this contemporaries around the world, because even when did not have money, he had his family with him. It multiplied his little happiness, and it divided his enormous sorrows and disappointments.

Music originated when common folk wanted to cry with a rhythm to express their emotions. Folk songs came into existence when several people joined together to give an expression to their shared emotions. With social evolution, these folk songs became a part and parcel of human life, till of course Bollywood adopted them and produced them for their movies! Once that happened, we have a greatly refined version of these mass musicals. The earliest of them, as also included in this list of ten best, depicts more accurately how they sounded prior to the advent of radio and bollywood. Today, as villages become urbanized, and everyone sings movie songs, these great folk songs are also a part of our legacy. They represent the history of India.

The world in which we live, the people around us, even relatives and family members, almost everything and everyone, has two sides, just like that of a coin. One side is great. It is the one that we want it to be, but then there is also the other, darker, not so pleasant side of every aspect of our society that we despise, even hate. Even worse, at times, is the hypocrisy that at times, seems to have engulfed the society and its people. When an innocent individual is targeted for an error of judgment by those mired in corruption and exploitation, there is little else to do, but to hit back and disrobe these liars and corrupt. This is exactly what these songs do, strike back at the darker, fraudulent elements to expose them to the world!

Patriotism is of two kinds. The first is the rhetoric, mostly indulged in by those, who otherwise have little compassion for the people around them, but find it a convenient tool to boost their public image. Such people are invariably unconcerned with the consequences of wars and conflicts, and often thrive on these calamities. Unlike this kind of patriotism, which is resorted to by politicians, religious leaders and scoundrels, there is another saner, more compassionate version of patriotism that is full of selflessness, sacrifice and compassion for fellow beings. For such patriotic people, a nation does not consist of its kings, soldiers or the leaders. For them a nation means its people, who they are willing to defend with their last breadth! War or no war!
