Chandigarh, August 15

As India celebrates its 76th Independence Day today, a Pakistani artist’s beautiful wish has been winning the hearts of people on both sides of the border. Siyal Khan posted a video of himself playing the Indian national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ on a string instrument called Rabab while in the backdrop, some serene mountains and greenery can be seen.

“Here’s a gift for my viewers across the border,” he wrote in the caption of his video.

“Happy #IndependenceDay India. I tried the National Anthem of India as a token of friendship and goodwill for Peace, tolerance and good relations between us. #IndependenceDay2022 (sic),” the musician added.

The video has gone viral and people from both India and Pakistan praised the beautiful rendition.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
