A video of Russian military cadets singing the famous Hindi patriotic song “Aye Watan Aye Watan Humko Teri Kasam” has amazed tweeple. The video, captured during a gathering in Moscow, has created a stir in the micro-blogging site.

The video, which is now being shared by many, shows a group of young Russian cadets singing a couple of lines from the popular Hindi song “Aye Watan”. It’s from a 1965 movie Shaheed - based on the life of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh – and sung by famous singer Mohammed Rafi.

With caption’s about the friendship between India and Russia, people praised and shared the video. Here’s one such post:
