C. Ramchandra: The music composer who straddled East and West – and left a PM tearful New Delhi, Jan 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) His contribution to Hindi film music, spanning classical to casual, is considerable, but composer C. Ramchandra's biggest endowment was to the nation, in creating the haunting, heart-rending, yet inspiring strains of its best-known patriotic song - that left a Prime Minister in tears on its first rendition.
