Oscar winner A R Rahman, who enchanted the world with his ‘Jai Ho’, has now composed the theme song for BSF (Border Security Force), his first for any paramilitary force. The five minute song– ‘Hum Seema Suraksha Bal… Veeron ka hai ye dal’ (We are the Border Security Force… it is the force of the brave) composed by Rahman praises the strength and valour of the border force. The credit for the song goes to Meghalaya Governor R S Mooshahary who is a former DG of the force. Rahman composed the song without charging any money for it.
The song, which also captures the emotional tribulations of a jawan guarding the border while leaving his family behind, comes with a video showing the BSF men in action along the border, undergoing training and the famous ‘change of guard’ ceremony at the Wagah border. The song and the video capture the true spirit of the force. Rahman has also promised to come and spend time with BSF men to boost their morale. A BSF jawan said, “It is a matter of pride that my idol Rahman has composed a song for me “. Video for this film will be released as an album ‘Border Man’ showing BSF men in action across the borders.
Earlier A R Rahman made an album Vande Mataram (1997) on India's 50th anniversary of independence. He followed it up with an album for the Bharat Bala–directed video Jana Gana Mana, a conglomeration of performances by many leading exponents/artists of Indian classical music.
