Kavi Pradeep, born Ramchandra Barayanji Dwivedi (1915 - 11 December 1998) is known for his patriotic song, "Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo", written as tribute to the soldiers who had died defending the country, during the Sino-Indian War.

The song was famously performed live, by Lata Mangeshkar, in the presence of Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru at the Ramlila grounds, New Delhi, on Republic Day, 26 January 1963, and moved him to tears, and a copy of the soundtrack spool was also gifted to him on the occasion.

Born Ramchandra Barayanji Dwivedi in 1915 into a middle-class Brahmin family in the small central Indian town of Badnagar, Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh state. Since his early student days in Madhya Pradesh, and later while pursuing graduation from University of Lucknow, he had a passion for writing and rendering Hindi poetry. He hypnotized the audience at kavi sammelans (poet's gatherings) with his inimitable style. It was during this time he changed his name to Pradeep. After graduating from Lucknow University in 1939, he decided to join a teacher's course and teaching.

Pradeep was invited to a Kavi Sammelan in Bombay (now Mumbai) where he was offered his first film Kangan (1939), by the Himanshu Rai of Bombay Talkies. The film starred Devika Rani and Ashok Kumar. Pradeep shifted to Bombay and wrote four songs for the film, all of which became very popular and sung three of the songs himself.

He next film was "Bandhan" (1940), produced by S. Mukherjee and directed by Gyan Mukherjee, and music by Saraswati Devi. This time he wrote all the songs which became huge hits. The Most notable is "Chal chal re naujawan", which made waves since the Indian freedom movement was at a crucial juncture............

His songs were so popular that movies would get repeat audiences just to listen to his soulful songs. Kavi Pradeep always believed in writing songs with a meaning and made sure the songs he wrote fit into the situation of the movie. The popularity of his songs were also due to his down to earth lyrics and simple language that was well understood by everyone. He stayed in the Irla area of the Mumbai suburb of Vile Parle until he died in 1998.

He continued his patriotic zeal with renewed vigor after Independence in movies such as Jagriti, 'Dedi humein azadi bina khadak bina dhal, Sabarmati ke sant tune kar diya kamal...' is considered to be his tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

Kavi Pradeep received numerous awards throughout his life. Some of which are:
Sangeet Natak Akademi Award - 1961
BFJA Award Jai Santoshi Maa (1975)

In 1997, he was honoured by India's highest award in Cinema, the Dada Saheb Phalke Award for Life time Achievement

Kavi Pradeep died at the age of 83 in Mumbai on 11 December 1998. He was survived by his wife, and two daughters, Sargam Thaker and Mitul Pradeep, who later set up the Kavi Pradeep Foundation............

Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan! Abhay oo Indian and Pakistanis. When will learn we are the same people but here we are hating each other because we believe in a different Almighty. Some of us call him Allah and some of you Eishwar. Isn't that the same thing? There are so many misguided people on the both sides of the border it's just stupid. Muslims and Hindus do believe if you do something wrong you will get punished in afterlife. So, why do we HATE. Politicians tell us to coz we are stupid, are we?
