Tokyo 2020: India's official anthem for Tokyo Olympics 2020 is out now! Music maestro AR Rahman has composed the song and given the music for it, while it is sung by Ananya Birla. The new song is called 'HINDUSTANI WAY'.
The song was posted by Ananya on her official Youtube channel. The video is a recreation of some throwback moments from India's Olympics history. It begins with Leander Paes win in 1996 followed by the 2004 silver medal by Rajyavardhansingh Rathore. Glimpses of the hockey team, PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik are also seen in the video.
Check out the song here:
AR Rahman had earlier given a glimpse of the song on his tweet:
This song is energetic and exciting for India's fans. Team India will have 126 people in the Olympics contingent this year and it will be a spectacle to see so many athletes for the first time holding the Indian flag at Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
There are many notable participants at the Olympics this year for India. Sajan Prakash and Srihari Natraj are the first swimmers from India to qualify for the Olympics. Netra Kumanan is also India's first representative in sailing. India will have high hopes from PV Sindhu, Neeraj Chopra, Saurabh Chaudhary, Vinesh Phogat and others.
Prime Minister Modi was in conversation with Indian athletes going to the Olympics through video conferencing on Tuesday. On July 17, the first batch of players from India will leave for Tokyo, where the Olympics is to commence from July 23. Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Anurag Thakur and Kiren Rijiju are also present in this video conferencing along with the Prime Minister.
