[Awesome]

I never understood the term Chak de India

The real phrase, "Chak de pathay" means to heave up logs or planks. Chak also means to bite, Chak can also mean a village or even to tear something apart. All things would portray a negative sentence for India. Chak De Pathay, India would mean India comes and demolishes the planks. Chak De India means India gets demolished.

Has the song been composed by a non-Punjabi speaker?

Punjabi nuances haven't been used right.

Nice to see that percussions guy, I always liked his stuff. Insane talent.

In colloquial punjabi in India, Chak de phatte more or less means "Just Do It!"

 

[Guli Danda]

Would you say to your servant?
"Hey come here and Chak de Phatte"???

The good thing about Opening and Closing ceremony is that we gave Bollywood stars a miss..it help people from other parts of the world understand there is much more than bollywood in India ;-) ..I would have been really pissed off if the closing ceremony was like the remake of Mile Sur Mera thumhara,all bollywood stars with Long legs and muscles

Language & its usage changes with time.

" Chak De' I feel has become something like 'Do it " something like the motto of an IA formation - " Bash on regardless"..

Don't think it was shown live in Pakistan, except for some Pakistani news channels showing a few minutes of live coverage a couple of times in their news bulletins.

Dear Phattey not Ullu ke Pathay wala Pathay.
Chakh means bite not Chak.
Yes Chak stands for village/pind also, villages in Punjab Rajasthan border (Abohar, Fazilka) are named like Chak Pakhi, Chak Maharaj Ka etc etc.

Modern meaning is "'Make it happen", "Just Do It", "Go For It", "Go Get It".

The Bollywood film 'Chak De India' means, 'Make It Happen India'.

Chak De Phatte - though loosely translated as pick up the floorboards is more of a war cry than a housekeeping call. The origins of the phrase lie in the times when the Khalsa i.e. the original warrior Sikhs were formed, they would cross canals and attack Mughal camps in a blitzkrieg attack and then just as they came would retreat leaving the enemy helpless. The sport of tent pegging also evolved from this camp raiding where the riders would remove the pegs of the tents trapping the occupants under, what then used to b a very heavy fabric. While escaping back to their base the Khalsa warriors would dismantle any temporary bridges constructed by them (made out of "Phatte") to prevent the Mughals from chasing them and sometimes to prevent the enemy from escaping, hence the cry "Chak De Phatte". The phrase then acquired the meaning: to complete the route. And is now used as in the figure of "Bring the house down!".

Really? I'm surprised? What could be the reason?

 

[Peregrine]

This chak doesnot imply bite here lol in that case it would have been this
" Wudd loo phatay" lol
