materialistic world insensitive state organs including judiciary who only look at the importance of the person and not the issue. A nation with history of slavery with every possibility of slipping back into it unless we demand change in leaders media and judiciary who may be hands in glove

Please stop comparing Rahat and Shafqat with great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab. He is way more best and stronger than thee two.Infact he has no comparison.

Its because India needs them.and India itself knows that they are true singers and no one in India can sing like these two. and as far as starving and earning good living is concerned.These two were and are earning more than they do in India.

@G, Gendha phool song is in some local dialect like bhojpuri. Masakali is simply a name. The song is in hindi though

Comment on Open letter to Suman Chatterjee aka Kabir Suman by Jhelum Roy

interestingly i came by this blog while googling the song ‘premhin asshomoy’ by suman chatterjee and your letter instantly captivated my attention. hence, despite being too late, thought of dropping by. although I was born in the nineties, my parents being die hard fans of suman brought me up over a daily dose of suman’s song. I remember my dad singing to me “gan tumi hao amar meyer ghumiye pora mukh takiye thaki etao amar benche thakar sukh” when i was a kid. However, it was much later in my teens that I started feeling the lyrics of the songs and ever since then suman has been a part of my growing up. My college days were filled with singing “haal chherona”, “jatiswar”, “tomake chai” in the college canteen. Hailing from the sms and facebook generation, suman’s lyrics even featured in smses and status updates on several occasions. I was in my final year of college when I heard of suman’s decision to contest elections as a TMC candidate and I understand and share your rage. I remember my dad switching off the TV and exclaiming “er cheye or more jawao bhalo chilo”. Even I was haunted by the question “why” for days as what plagued me more was the question would this man now ever be able to sing “koto manush morle porle bolbe tumi seshe/ baddo beshi manush geche baaner jale bheshe”. My rage was further accentuated when I saw a parody of my favourite song in the newspaper screaming at me: “amaratwer protyasha nei nei kono dabi dawa/ ei naswar jibaner dabi sudhu vote tuku chawa”. His nandigram songs “janan dichhe ei jagoron laglo dhakka panchayete” further increased my disgust for the man who had once sang: “how many times will the ballot papers fly before they are forever banned”. Your letter thus ripped open the wound that had somewhat tried to heal with the man’s redemption when he confessed that entering politics was his biggest mistake. Yet the wound remains. However much i try to forgive him by accepting his changed position yet despite him speaking out against TMC corruption, despite him writing songs about chhatradhar, pinky pramanik, mary kom or the recent shiladitya episode, one question keeps haunting me: “suman er moto shrewd sangbadik ki janto na constitutional partyr choritro?” Hence the wound remains, and I can never forgive him that. I would still listen raptly to the man playing harmonium, guitar, piano at the same time, analysing salil chowdhury’s songs like a magician, demonstrating the history of bengali music while celebrating 20 years of ‘tomake chai’; yet something somewhere tells me the Prophet is dead. The vision is gone. The man who sang “kar tate ki amra jodi ei akaleo swapno dekhi” is lost forever. P.S: I see many have argued that it was quite natural for a person like suman to enter politics. yes perhaps its true. but for TMC? to oppose one regime, did he need to allign himself with the other extreme? I would have respected him if he had contested the elections as an independent candidate. But for the man who sang “ichhe holo ek dharoner swapno amar morbo dekhe biswa jure joutho khamar” alligning with TMC is unpardonable.
