An iconic old Hindi song has recently been recreated with a twist by approximately 50 Indians across the globe on the occasion of India's 71st Republic Day. The members of the Indian Whistler's Association (IWA) whistled the song Mile Sur Mera Tumhara to pay a one-of-a-kind tribute. The song was reportedly filmed across 18 cities in India, the US and Malaysia. It was released on the eve of Republic Day. 

The six-minute and 11-second long video was released on YouTube with a caption that read, “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara (courtesy Doordarshan, 1988) is the quintessence of national integration and unity in diversity of India. In conjunction with India's 71st Republic Day and IWAs 15th anniversary, we present a one-of-a-kind tribute, conceptualised and produced entirely in-house.”

Further adding, “We bring to you MSMT 2020, featuring 50 Indians from 17 ethnicities and 18 cities in India and abroad - united by one artform - Whistling, thus transcending the diversities in language, ethnicity or religion”.
