Even today, this video brings nostalgia to the young and middle aged Indian public, who have grown up listening to it. With the advent of cable TV, and numerous channels, Doordarshan channel gradually lost large part of its viewership, and the video gradually faded into oblivion, no longer to be broadcast. But on occasions like the 26th of January i.e India's Republic Day, the song is played many times. It is even played on the 15th of August

"In all the democratic countries of the world, economic power is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals and groups. In liberal democracies economic power is controlled by a handful of capitalists, while in socialist countries economic power is concentrated in a small group of party leaders. In each case a handful of people ... manipulates the economic welfare of the entire society."

എന്റെ സ്വപ്ന സുന്ദരിക്ക്
അസ്തമയ സൂര്യന്റെ രശ്മിതന് പൂങ്കയ്യില്
വിസ്മയ പ്രഭ വിതറും മോഹിനീനിന്
വദനമാം മധു കിനിയും പുഷ്പത്തില് നിറയുന്ന
മൃദു ഹസിത ഭാവത്തിനര്ത്ഥമെന്ത്
ഹൃദയ മൃദു തന്ത്രികളില് രോമാഞ്ചമായ നിന്
ശ്രുതി മധുര മൊഴികള് തന് രൂപം പോലെ
കരചലനമന്നനടയെല്ലാം നിനക്കാരോ
മനസറിഞ്ഞധികമായ് തന്നതാണോ
പ്രത്യക്ഷമല്ലെന്റെ പ്രേമര്ദ്ര മാനസം
നിഴല് വീണു നിറം പോയ നിലാവ് പോലെ
വെമ്പുകയാണതു പൊട്ടിചിരിക്കുവാന്
മൊട്ടിട്ടു നില്ക്കുന്ന മുല്ല പോലെ
GOD
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
Epicurus, 341 BC, Samos – 270 BC, Athens
