Like always, Indian YouTube star Rickshawali was out on a mission to let the the world know a little more about India, and this time she made foreigners sing the Indian national anthem for the first time.
Yes, to “celebrate global freedom and diversity” she teamed up with eight other YouTubers and artistes, collaborating with them to sing the anthem written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore. “I wanted to celebrate global freedom and diversity. Unity and diversity is what India is all about and so is this video,” she wrote while releasing the video on YouTube.
Indo-American music composer and conservationist and Grammy award winner Rickey Kej too released a beautiful rendition of the national anthem.
Kej, who won the Grammy at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards for his album Winds of Samsara, highlighted the rich natural beauty of the country. “India is MORE than just humans! Fall in love with the Natural World of India,” the video description reads.
