Needless to say, the video has left the internet emotional and has garnered high praise from Indians, including Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.

Taking to X, Mr Kej shared the video on Monday and captioned it, ''A few days ago, I conducted a 100-piece British orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to perform India's National Anthem at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, London. This is the largest orchestra ever to record India's National Anthem and it is spectacular! The "Jaya He" at the end gave me goosebumps. Felt great as an Indian composer. I am sharing this historic recording with every one of you this Independence Day - use it, share it, watch it, but with respect. It is yours now. Jai Hind.''
