Watch: 'The Nationalist Song' ft. Ravish, Modi We Didn't Know We Needed

Ravish Kumar thinks 'Rambha Ho Ho Ho' should be 'the nationalist song'. So I set Modi's actions to it.

After Ravish Kumar ended up on an “Urban Naxal” list, he decided to address this growing “nationalist” urge to label all dissent “anti-national” or, in this case, dissenters “Urban Naxals”. In one episode of his show, he urged his viewers to only do as the government says and dance to their tunes.

In fact, he even had a suggestion for this “nationalist song” that we should all sing and dance to whenever we spot a state representative (to make our allegiances clear) – Armaan’s Rambha Ho Ho Ho, by Usha Uthup.

Poojan Sahil, a young musician and satirist in Delhi, took Kumar’s words to heart and put together a video of Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Nitin Gadkari dancing to the song. (The fun starts at 0:55)
