We didn't start the fire- Billy Joel's version and the Indian version

WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE
~ Two versions
click on the underlined below:
Indian Version We didn't Start the Fire

(the Indian version is just a summary of major events of Indian history, and the lyrics for this version were composed by Karan Shah, Kinjal Shah and Saloni Doshi
.
This song, like the original, is a roller-coaster of people, places and events, of course some of which are outdated.

From Wikipedia: Joel got the idea for the song as he was talking with someone half his age, who averred that the world was an unfixable mess. Joel replied to him, "I thought the same things when I was your age". The person replied, "Yeah, but you grew up in the fifties and everybody knows that nothing happened in the fifties". Joel retorted, "Wait a minute, didn't you hear of Korea, the Hungarian
freedom fighters or the Suez Crisis?" Joel later said those headlines formed the basic framework for the song.[SUP][1][/SUP])
