It has played a significant role in India's social and political landscape.

Some of his iconic songs include 'Lift Karadey', 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao', 'Kabhi Nahi', 'Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein', 'Bhar Do Jholi Meri' and 'Tera Chehra'.

Interesting to see this perspective. As someone who follows Indian politics from abroad, it's clear there are many narratives. If meeting helps clear the air, that's good. Hope it leads to more understanding.

Respect to Adnan Sami for being open-minded. We often form opinions based on what we hear in media bubbles. Taking the time to listen to the other side personally is something we all should do more often. His music unites people, and this gesture feels similar.

While I appreciate the intent of dialogue, we must also be cautious. One positive meeting doesn't erase the concerns many citizens have about the RSS's ideology and its impact on social harmony. The proof will be in sustained, inclusive actions, not just words.

He chose India as his home and now he's engaging with its cultural fabric. Good for him! We need more people to look beyond headlines and understand organizations that have shaped modern India. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Honestly, I'm just here for the music! 'Lift Karadey' is an evergreen track. But if this meeting helps reduce unnecessary polarization in our country, then it's a side benefit I fully support. More music, less conflict please!
