Earlier, to mark India’s 75 years of independence, 75 singers and musicians from across the country collaborated to perform “Jaya Hey 2.0,” a musical tribute by the Ambuja Neotia Group. The “Jaya Hey 2.0” is a rendition of the full five verses of Rabindranath Tagore’s 1911 written “Bharat Bhagya Vidhata” – “Jana Gana Mana.”
