‘Saare Jahan Se Acha’ Plays At White House To Mark Heritage Month
During a reception for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month attended by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the White House’s Marine Band on Monday performed “Sare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara” for an audience of Asian Americans.
The patriotic song, written by Mohammad Iqbal during India’s Independence struggle, was played twice by the White House Marine Band at the request of Indian Americans whom the president invited for the annual event.
