Pt Bickram Ghosh and Pt Tejendra Narayan Majumdar stand in front of the Netaji Cell. With a vast array of languages and dialects within the country and a renowned musical heritage, what better way to honor freedom fighters than through instrumental music that transcends language barriers and evokes a shared sense of patriotism? This Independence Day, musicians Bickram Ghosh and Tejendra Narayan Majumdar join forces to pay tribute to these heroes in a video crafted by Mudar Patherya. The Alipore Central Correctional Home, now the Alipore Jail Museum, holds historical significance for housing key figures in India's freedom struggle such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Chittaranjan Das, and Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. The musicians filmed at various locations within the museum, including Nehru Cell, Netaji Cell, Watchtower, and surrounding areas. When asked about their song choices, Tejendra Narayan Majumdar explains that they selected "Vande Mataram" and "Sare jahan se achha" for their national appeal, while "Dhono dhanye pushpe bhora" and "O amar desher mati" showcase Bengal's significant role in the freedom movement. Bickram Ghosh adds that many of India's patriotic songs stem from Bengal, emphasizing the importance of sharing these sentiments with a wider audience. They aimed to preserve the songs' essence in their instrumental renditions, focusing on pronunciation and details to maintain the emotional connection. The musicians believe that people resonate with these songs regardless of lyrics due to the strong emotions they convey.We aim to evoke similar emotions through both our music and our choice to wear all-white attire today. Bickram Ghosh explains that with our music video, we are seeking to connect with the younger generation and a global audience. How do these songs resonate with a broader, national audience? TNM notes that listening to these melodies underscores the magnificence of the composers. For example, even without lyrics, a song like "Utho go Bharata Lakshmi" conveys a sense of marching. According to BG, instrumental music offers a unique form of communication, where emotions are expressed subjectively in the absence of words. Instrumental music provides us with the freedom to explore diverse themes beyond language constraints.

The interior of the watchtower serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by freedom fighters detained in the Cellular Jail in Port Blair. Quotes from the artists emphasize the significance of commemorating historic figures through emotive renditions of patriotic songs using instrumental music.

Today, we eschew grand displays of patriotism to emphasize the era when India was shaping its identity. Our national heroes were once incarcerated here, compelling us to convey patriotic sentiments through instrumental music. Reflecting on our past is essential in understanding our contemporary identity; India's essence encompasses not only our independence struggle but also our rich musical traditions.
