The patriotic song "Varika Varika Sahajare" was written by Amsi Narayana Pillai, a well-known poet, journalist, and freedom fighter from Kerala. He composed this song during the Indian freedom struggle, specifically for the Salt Satyagraha march from Kozhikode Vadakara to Payyanur. The song became a rallying cry for the people of Kerala and was banned by the British authorities due to its revolutionary spirit. Amsi Narayana Pillai was active in the independence movement and also founded the Mahatma weekly to spread Gandhian values

. In recent times, the song was revived and featured in the 2019 Malayalam film Lucifer , directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film's soundtrack re- arranged the original composition by G. Devarajan, with the lyrics by Amsi Narayana Pillai, and was sung by Murali Gopy

. Thus, Amsi Narayana Pillai is the original writer of "Varika Varika Sahajare."
