The BSF (Border Security Forces) officers who are presiding over the school event seem to be smirking and chuckling among themselves. See the national pride writ large on the faces of the BSF jawans in attendance.
OK, they are trying their best even if it doesn't quite sound right...
School girls from the Model Girls High School in Mahisashan singing the patriotic song 'Sare Jahan se Accha'. This footage was taken around Kaziranga, Assam from the north eastern state of India.
According to Wikepedia:
"Saare Jahan Se Achchha (Urdu:سارے جہاں سے اچھا), formal name: Tarana-e-Hindi (Urdu: ترانۂ ہندی "Anthem of the People of Hindustan"), is one of the enduring patriotic poems of the Urdu language. Written originally for children in the ghazal style of Urdu poetry by poet Muhammad Iqbal also known as Allama Iqbal, the poem was published in the weekly journal Ittehad on 16 August 1904.[1] Recited by Iqbal the following year at Government College, Lahore, now in Pakistan, it quickly became an anthem of opposition to the British rule in India. The song, an ode to Hindustan—the land comprising present-day Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan—both celebrated and cherished the land even as it lamented its age-old anguish. As Tarana-e-Hindi, it was later published in 1924 in the Urdu book Bang-i-Dara.
Iqbal was a lecturer at the Government College, Lahore at that time, and was invited by student Lala Har Dayal to preside over a function. Instead of delivering a speech, Iqbal sang Saare Jahan Se Achcha. The song, in addition to embodying yearning and attachment to the land of Hindustan, expressed "cultural memory" and had an elegiac quality. In 1905, the 27-year old Iqbal was still in his idealistic phase and viewed the future society of the subcontinent as both a pluralistic and composite Hindu-Muslim culture. Later that year he left for Europe for a three-year sojourn that was to transform him into an Islamic philosopher and a visionary for the future of Muslim society as he continued to have concern for India as a whole. In his 1930 Allahabad address, he emphasized to the Muslim delegates of the Muslim League that "We have a duty towards India where we are destined to live and die.". Later, when his speech was misconstructed as a support of Chaudary Rahmat Ali's Pakistan scheme, he promptly wrote a letter rejecting this idea and stated that he had not presented the idea of a separate Muslim State; rather he wanted a large Muslim province by amalgamating Punjab, Sindh, NWFP and Baluchistan into a big North-Western province within India."

Shame on you the Uploader. You are a big time looser. At least she have the courage and respect for our Nation and this so called smirking and chuckling did not distract her. Jai Maa, Jai Bharat. She was the only voice out of hundreds over there. T
