Foreword “SON OF INDIA” May 26, 2014. This day India saw the rise of a new sun, carrying bright hopes and possibilities for the country. This day the new Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, emerged on the Indian scene like a colossus. A charismatic personality brimming with verve, vitality and brilliance, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has set his sight on achieving some astonishing dreams and ambitions. Ambitions such as making India a superpower, a world leader, a prosperous nation, cultivating a new crop of creative youth and making them a part of India’s growth story, empowering women towards self-reliance, and above all, the vision of making India clean and healthy. This Clean India Mission hinges on the idea of building a toilet in every household and thus making the country open-defecation-free, so that India can stand proudly among the world’s cleanest and most healthy nations. It is these exciting insights and ideas that have made Shri Narendra Modi an amazingly popular leader and an outstanding statesman of the contemporary world. Today, the whole world is saluting his visionary and effective leadership, recognizing the value of his distinctive ideas, insights and working style. This great leader, who has completely and selflessly dedicated his life to the service of the country, has proved to be a true son of Mother India. Prime Minister Modi’s extraordinary vision, dynamism and people-centred welfare work have made a deep impression on Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, Founder of Sulabh International Social Service Organisation. Stirred and inspired by his charismatic leadership, Dr. Pathak has become a huge admirer of Prime Minister Modi. It was this boundless admiration for the vision and leadership of Shri Narendra Modi that compelled Dr. Pathak one fine morning to compose a beautiful song “Son of India”—One who has held India’s head high in the eyes of the world is the true son of India. This exquisite and melodious song brings alive all the revolutionary decisions, people-centric projects and extraordinary achievements of Prime Minister Modi. The music of this song, “Son of India”, is composed by Dr. Pathak himself. This song was originally composed in Hindi. Subsequently, this popular song has been translated into English and 23 Indian languages. Some of India’s most renowned singers have sung and recorded this song, helping its inspirational message to disseminate and reach millions of Indians. We are pleased to hand over this work to you with the fond hope that you may enjoy the song in the language that is most convenient to you.
