Wonderful video. IP always does a great job.

**A very humble request. I highly urge individuals NOT to use this track in any mix that involves dancing. Mixing it for Nagar Kirtans is fine, but not for dancing.

I've been trying to figure this out, but in the beginning of the (album version) song, who's the guy talking about Nalwa? Sounds soo familiar..

If you are asking who Hari Singh Nalwa is, then short answer: BEAST MILITARY LEADER UNDER MAHARAJ RANJIT SINGH'S RAJ.

Just google his name for more info. :)

No, I'm more than familiar with Nalwa.. I'm asking about the snippet (from what appears to be from a movie or so) and the actual voice actor.. the actor seems really familiar, but whatever is going on in that scene is really intense..

it's fate how I discover this thread and video today...the same day that I'm writing a paper regarding the "heroic" nature in Sikhism.

not to bring up old threads, but what does "sava lakh" itself mean? i read that it's from a saying that "ek sikh barabar sava lakh" which means that each sikh is a legion. so does sava lakh mean legion? lakh, i'm guessing, means the number, but then what does barabar mean in this context? is it different from its usual meaning of "repeatedly"? i'm just really interested in languages and i figured there really isn't much of a better place on the internet to ask people about punjabi.
help is appreciated :D
also the track is freaking amazing.

sava lakh (the number) barabar (equal to) kale kale ne (on their own they are) = a single singh is equal to sava lakh men.

You're thinking of BAR BAR, which means repeatedly. BarABar means Equal, or in this sense, toe to toe.

Sava = quarter-past. Lakh = Hundred thousand. So essentially, he's saying that I fight a quarter hundred thousand enemy with one of mine.

This song is saying that one sikh is equivalent to 125,000 enemies. Yes, sava means 1/4, but sava lakh in its context meant 125000.

Sawa lakh se ek ladaun.


Did anyone see the dubbed video of this song with the 300 (movie) fight scene? It was taken down, but that video was pretty legit too.
