India is set to celebrate Raksha Bandhan 2017, also known as Rakhi, on August 7. Like most other celebrations, Raksha Bandhan will remain incomplete without listening to some popular Hindi songs that signify the love between brothers and sisters.
Raksha Bandhan celebrates the special bond between a brother and a sister. The sister shows her affection by tying a sacred thread (known as Rakhi) around her brother's wrist, praying for his well-being and the latter promises to protect her all his life.
This age-old tradition does not necessarily include only blood relations but is also celebrated by men and women who share a brother-sister relationship. The festival of Raksha Bandhan involves an emotional bond and songs have always been an effective medium for expressing emotions.
Bollywood has till date come up with a number of Hindi songs that beautifully portray the brother-sister love. While some of the songs are old but evergreen, some others are relatively new and refreshing. The Internet has a number of websites from where one can download those songs for free.
