Low cast ko chakra nahi chakar daitay hain yeh zameer faroosh passt loog.
Yes, but what is striking is if you look at the marching songs of the Indian Armed Forces. Unless they have concocted some new Sanskrit ones the old songs had liberal doses of Urdu words and infact even liberal use of the word Shaheed. You can search for them on the internet.
وطن کی راہ میں وطن کے نوجواں شہید ہو
or
قدم قدم بڑاے جا خشی کے گیت گاے جا
یہ زندگی ہے قوم کی تو قوم پے لٹاےجا
There are many others.
Notice the words.
شہید قوم خُشی وطن
The Sanskrit words don't cut it.
I once sneaked up on an Indin Air Force song on You Tube
جاں باز ہم۔
and posed as a Hindi zealot criticizing why Urdu words are being used.
Why couldn't they say:
ویر سوئم
" or something like that. Remarkably I got slammed for the suggestion.
They just don't have an equivalent of :
اے مر د مُجاہد جاگ ذرا
Why?
The reasons are complex which can't be discussed on this thread but one reason so far has been the now vanished modestly secular era of India.
Indian Armed Forces marching songs were ( emphasis on were)
secular. So the emphasis was on nationalism.
This is no longer the case.
