Indian authorities have banned a viral song by Sikh singer Zara Gill for its message of spiritual and cultural connection with Pakistan, sparking backlash and praise across the border.
The track, titled “Asi Murdabad Nahi Keh Sakde, Bhul Ke Vi Pakistan Nu”, highlights the sacred legacy of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Pakistan and promotes unity over political hostility. Its emotional lyrics have resonated deeply with Sikh communities in both India and Pakistan.

The Modi government reportedly blocked the song’s circulation in East Punjab following the Pahalgam attack, accusing it of stirring anti-national sentiments. Critics say the move reflects growing censorship of cultural expressions that challenge divisive narratives.
Despite the ban, the song continues to trend online, with many calling it a brave reminder of shared heritage.
