Say to someone of Indian decent (as are half my family) that this load of tosh is based on traditional Indian music and they'll either laugh at you or punch you in the face. It might be sung in Sanskrit but it's just a load of nonsense in Sanskrit.
If you want rock mixed with bangra authentically rather than some rich kid who went to Goa to 'find himself' and now thinks he's a part of the culture get Cornershop's 6 a.m. Jullander Shere instead.
