It was performed by popular Bollywood star Raj Kapoor, though actually sung by playback singer Mukesh. In the song, the narrator asserts pride in being Indian, despite their clothes all being from other countries. The chorus runs: {{lang|hi|मेरा जूता है जापानी, ये पतलून इंगलिस्तानी}} {{lang|hi|सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिन्दुस्तानी}} {{transl|hi|IAST|Merā jūtā hai Jāpānī, ye patlūn Inglistānī}} {{transl|hi|IAST|Sar pe lāl ṭopī Rūsī, phir bhī dil hai Hindustānī}} My shoes are Japanese, these trousers are English; The red cap on my head is Russian, but still my heart is Indian. Due to its patriotic themes, the song was widely embraced in its time as a representation of the newly sovereign nation of India.[1] As India was gaining its status as a sovereign democratic republic,[2] this song depicted the casting off of the colonialist yoke and the recognition of the internationalist aim of uniting to make India and the world a better place. The song was also a satirical retort at some of the political leaders and rich upper class of the newly independent India, who boasted of being swadeshi in their clothes, but were extremely western in their thought, outlook, affiliations and deeds.[3] This song gained international fame, particularly in the Soviet Union.{{fact|date=August 2018}} In popular culture
This is truly the age where the joota (shoe) is Japani (Japanese), patloon (pants) is Inglistani (English), the topi (hat) is Roosi (Russian), but the dil... dil (heart) is always Hindustani (Indian)... My country, torn, tattered, proud, beautiful, hot, humid, cold, sandy, shining India. My country.
