Songs for a new India and a new world

In the introduction Herbert Allen writes:

A wise man once said: "Give me the writing of a nation's songs and I care not who makes her laws." The past six months  I have had the privilege of travelling at the side of Rajmohan Gandhi as he has enlisted thousands of lndian Youth to tackle realistically lndia's problems starting with a change in their own lives. From dawn to dusk, day after day, we have visited five hundred of the nations schools and Colleges.

Some of these songs we wrote in buses enroute to the next engagement. Some were written and rehearsed in the backs of army trucks. Others were written by students themselves as the wave of a new spirit swept across the land.

Music is a heart opener. Many who are confused by too much intellectualism often grasp the truth with a song.
