Vividh Bharati kept us captive of Hindi songs while depriving of Bengali music

Excellent informative piece and well deserved homage to P.V. Krishnamoorthy. Similar overviews on evolution of modern Odia music during AIR Kolkata phase or the interactions at Mumbai are needed to complete the picture. The role of recording companies too. More power to your pen.

They no doubt have lent their voices to great songs but till today I haven't been able to reconcile with the shrill voices of South Indian female singers. Mana Akasha (1974) was a huge success because of its songs but the chasm is too wide and conspicuous.

She is 79 and is believed to be born this month. Odia music is forever grateful for the voice of Nirmala Mishra. All Odia female singers struggle to imitate her "natural" accent while singing covers. Of course, she would be nowhere without the celestial scores of Balakrushna Das.

Prajatantra used to publish a weekly page on culture in the 1960s called Rupa Rasa Chhanda. Profiles of singers, dancers, etc was a regular feature. They contain a wealth of information and relevant compilations should be published on the web. No one is interested in serious work

During marriages and other functions these records were played in our village and those days there were not many popular numbers. Fulei rani sajafula was the most popular number as far as I remember. Even band parties used to play it. Next was Kalijuga Krushna muhin on Radio also

https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1220636053058588672?s=19

Sajafula was also a flagship programme of Akashvani, Cuttack which produced some evergreen songs. It also brought out the best out of the lyricists. @OdiaCulture

Cover by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (Original by Dhananjay Satpathy from AIR, Cuttack Sajafula for August 1969. Bana mayuri mo bayasi denare by Bhubaneswari Mishra was companion number besides the duet Jhumuku jhuma. Related: Bana hansi go pagala by Bhikari Bal) https://t.co/Ho90ySC3M2

Thanks. That's because I love them. Radio being the only source of entertainment those days and Odia culture at its best. Those radio plays featuring Himanshu Bhusan Sabat and Jharana Das. Nadiya Bihari Mohanty of SS. There used to be a song: Hajigala bayasa, michhe khoji basana!

Before it, Chora Chora Priti was very popular; played everywhere. As a film also, ManaAkasha was a success; galvanised the whole scene.

In Dharitri, earlier Bengali singers are there but in ManaAkasha he introduced female singers from the South.

This thread of A-Z top #OdiaSongs is a unique list covering most singers of the era. It was a golden period with lyricists and composers giving their best. Odia language is indebted to them for ever. Further, these represent authentic Odia life and culture and not archaic Odissi.

1. He stresses on purity. So once one gains expertise, he will feel guilty to experiment.

2. Till now he hasn't commented on listeners. I mean how anyone can have patience if the lyrics is incomprehensible

Odia music scene is witnessing unprecedented popularity, creativity, and confidence. Let's hope it takes the language to ever newer heights. That will be the best respect to Akshaya Mohanty. #KhokaBhai #OdiaSong

Many are eager to deify him but there can be alternative views. I don't know how much fidelity his renderings have to Ragas but his pronunciation lacks softness where required. This Pala like primitive style of singing became unsuitable for home situation with Gramophone or Radio

https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1313157442671243267?s=19

No disputing of statistics but aesthetics is different. Interestingly, Shymamani Devi gives an example of the difference of style of Singhari and Balakrushna Dash at one place in this interview. So, there was a clear transition which became popular, later. https://t.co/45Oq4SYYon

HMV had status and marketing infrastructure. It gave prestige. If you can specify from which year to which year it didn't record anyone other than NCH, then the picture will be clear. But it means additional work for you and therefore I don't trouble you with questions, generally

You are imagining things and romanticizing the period through which I have lived. In your enthusiasm, you are trying to distort history but my preference is to give honest accounts.

Can you give absolute numbers and how many households had Gramophone? No other singers were recorded; so obviously his records were purchased by the same people out of compulsion. Reach of Radio was limited and people used to switch off when he was played. He is like K.L. Saigal

I'm interested in the evolution of Odia music and there's no clarity. My suspicion is about conspiracy by Bengali officials at HMV to keep Odia as a primitive language by not recording modern songs in other voices and Banikantha might be a part of the nexus out of self-promotion

I respect your research and am grateful for what you are doing for Odissi. But facts can't be twisted.

We have discussed it before but better to argue with data.

The word primitive is not my invention; it's a primitive entry in the dictionary. I guess, sun rising every morning is the culprit which generates yesterdays. @OdiaCulture @TaraniTrotter @DandapaniSatap1

Pala and Daskathia were also popular those days due to lack of opthions. Theatre was popular before cinema. HMV by not recording others created artificial scarcity and NCH's records sold. That by any means can't be construed as popularity. Dandi style was replaced by Balakrushna.

Sure, but think of 50 years from 1906 to 1956: nothing much to be proud of about published music of Odisha. Govt publicity records are another wastage of opportunity. Then came positioning of Odissi and the later Kalia deluge. Thus, the few years of modern Odia music is precious.

Old Odia songs are of the first order but the same can't be said about other fields. Literary or cerebral talk is also rare. So, threat to Odia script or language is not the only concern. Overall, nothing much to be proud of about Odisha except Delanga Daroga or even Rangeilunda.

The simple tune of the most popular Odia prayer underwent a profound makeover by Prafulla Kar. Always with its transforming effect, Ahe dayamaya biswa bihari https://t.co/kIhRQ0JmvC

Not many on Twitter who have actually experienced the phenomenon. 1968: Fulei rani saja fula proves to be a smashing hit; being played everywhere. One song which outsmarted all great poetry from Bhanja to Sachi Routray. The lyricist is Gurukrushna Goswami. Music: Akshaya Mohanty.

This song hasn't got its due.

Being the only modern classical language in the whole of North India, Odia is at the greatest advantageous situation today. #NEP2020 has further emboldened this position with the chance of Odia literature and culture receiving far wider exposure. Ghettoisation of music is spoiler

Vividh Bharati विविध भारती kept us captive of Hindi songs while exposure to the pulsating Bengali music scene was nil. This deprivation for sixty years is my biggest regret. Hybrid Hindi music is too alien now while Old Bengali songs seem heavenly. Rivalry barrier melts in music.

Being a Brahma, Bhaktakabi's prayers became popular and others contributed to the genre. Graduating to modernity and secularism was also a challenge post Independence. Thus, this predominantly religious nature of Odissi music is a drag. New generation must experiment with themes.

Any one can sing a new lyrics but he can't repeat it. Others can't learn it too. The role of classical music is basically this. Transcribing voice into a special language of sargam. Chhanda by definition obviates this necessity; therefore it can't be identified as Classical music.

Odissi dance has a global presence now and it's under no compulsion to tether to any particular style of music or singing. How it adapts to various languages and cultures depends upon local performers. The common name Odissi shouldn't mislead of any essential hegemonic connection

Music is considered as hobby but due to lockdown it has turned life itself. Old songs in that sense are crucial. I don't like new versions of old songs. Adding false video to old songs is also an injustice towards purity of appreciation. Tampering with someone else's IP is wrong.

Foot tapping numbers have added utility for exercise during lockdown. https://t.co/e40w62JDvX

The question is who will define art and priorities relating to it. Odia film music of 1960s is of greatest importance for Odia language and culture but Govt is passive to its preservation. It may wake up after twenty years. So enlightened opinion has value but forever in minority

https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1301858722478653443?s=19

Fine, but rules can be amended. If Folk is promoted, then why film music is seen as outcast? And in this case, all kinds of experimentation happened to create a firm foundation for Odia language. Recognising that is important for right understanding of evolution of Odia identity.

Visiting old temples or posting nature photos can't be a sign of excellence and residents of Odisha should debate and discuss as to how the State can progress. What to promote and what are the priorities. Odias residing outside the State can't technically be identified as Odias.

1262 followers in eight years but I take it as 262 of which only 62 notice and 2 respond. Even that is a great achievement in this age of infotainment overload sans firm value assessment. Standing by the best brand #SriAurobindo is therefore the most logical step (or lack of it).

I have devoted 2-3 decades to secondary literature on Sri Aurobindo including Western perspectives on him. It has been amply rewarding but at the end of the day, his own writings seem to be so self-sufficient. #ARYA100Years (1914-21) is enough for the rest of the present century.

Thanks for your encouraging words but many a time I go beyond the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo when it comes to speculating on current affairs or grappling with political issues. Some get irritated and boycott but in that case the loss is theirs. https://t.co/6s6nhDRd69

The people who gets irritated because they are still grappling with their Identities namely Religion and Nationhood ; about SA wrote earlier extensively during his early days ; but He consciousness goes higher and higher Lately and His Vision Broadened into the Supreme Lord;

Because they do not understand that Bhav is a function of Dharma without which there is no urge to seek beyond Chitta and reach Purusha.

Amusing to read tweets on diverse issues plus puerile responses from very sensible people. Reading Sri Aurobindo is such a foundation that there's no confusion or vacillation. But most are content with stray quotations. How this deficit can be met is a big intellectual challenge.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1302747513309597703?s=19

From my list of top 108 Hindu handles, I observe that no two persons agree on any matter. Fierce fighting is on on various counts. Obviously there's no common ground nor any solution to age-old contradictions. Sri Aurobindo refused to be in favour of reforms which was respectable

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1303753717393420289?s=19

Many intellectuals worked consistently and pushed narrative to bring the present Govt. to power but they have not been rewarded adequately. Their sense of satisfaction however is more vital. But they missed the opportunity of reading Sri Aurobindo's books. https://t.co/UQxaFgnaIF

TV and Internet teach in a variety of ways apart from general and professional education plus job experience. Still, the situation of any individual is precarious and lopsided. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo invite to examine what is missing. They tell about the hidden forces of life.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1296412011555938305?s=19

Most people imbibe psychology lessons from movies since academic opportunities are rare. Nothing wrong but human affairs are so complex that even after sixty years one feels perplexed. Besides the spiritual spectrum is hardly interrogated. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo help in this.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1295375681082109952?s=19

Inferiority complex is so rampant in India that no one dares to occupy the top position but Savitri Era Party has no competition today in terms of ideology and future vision. But the copy-paste brigade unfortunately fail to realise this opportunity and are content with servility.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1296064403578609665?s=19

Amusing to notice tweets quoting Sri Aurobindo validating gods and goddesses as if it's his main work. People are so bonded to the past that they even use The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for this. Strange that devotees don't accept them fully and put their legs in two different boats.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1293935547589640192?s=19

For many years it was mainstream and everyone believed in the same paradigm. So much so that even Girilal Jain had to wait for his retirement. Now also most seem to have succumbed to a similar kind of smugness but Savitri Era Party keeps on reminding them about lack of legitimacy

Odisha situation is interesting as some are exasperated that Jagannath is reluctant to give right of way to Rama. Today #Kalinga and #Ashoka also are at loggerheads. Not to mortgage one's intelligence to some grand narrative is the task. Reading #SriAurobindo can open new vistas.

Difficult to find even a single handle which espouses right views; to be just and fair is rare now. Perhaps, same was the case, always; but failed to notice. Sri Aurobindo is the only symbol of hope midst this gloom; an infallible touchstone to decipher dishonesty and hypocrisy.

Meagre followers yet our stand is unique in a nation of 1.4b population. No one else has been able to articulate our rationale. Not many muster courage to support. Many are pained but can't refute. That's the power of Sri Aurobindo's thought. It will catapult us to power one day.

Perhaps I'm the only one among the followers of Sri Aurobindo here who isn't happy about the temple. It needs to be recorded that it's anti-Evolutionary. That it's being done during a catastrophic situation like a pandemic is on further negative side. It's against Democracy, too.

Sri Aurobindo didn't finish his project on language. Neither he nor The Mother disclosed much on Transformation of Cells. These two fields may be related, as modern Tech indicates. This is one reason why the prose and poetry of Sri Aurobindo are important. https://t.co/TwRFlp6iZE

Avalanche of virtue signalling but dishonesty is rampant. They just imitate their rivals; no new model of decency or civility. Besides, claiming past glory is empty. I haven't come across a single handle which is reasonable. Only The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can teach higher ideal.

Through The Secret of the Veda Sri Aurobindo toppled mythological fiction. In Human Cycle he subverted the idea of nation. Thus the dominant fond hopes are in disarray. No amount of brick and mortar can resurrect a lost hope. So why flog a dead horse? Writing on the wall is clear

Two books, Sri Aurobindo and Karl Marx by D.P. Chattopadhyaya and The Meeting of the East and the West in Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy by S.K. Maitra, helped me substantially to understand theory. Later, The Humanization of Transcendental Philosophy by R. Sundara Rajan was pivotal.

Durga Puja in Bengal is well known which covers three to four months. Many things are stereotypical and repetitive; yet, it's an informal University. It trains both young and old in diverse fashions. Culture is drilled into the brains and injected into the genes. Castes dissolve.

Education is not simply brick and mortar; measuring the general consciousness is also essential. Odisha and Bengal are at a much higher level today despite the apparent poverty or deprivation that meets the eye at the first instance. India must value this bowl of social capital.

What's status quo in Odisha and Bengal remains a high ideal for the rest of India. Therefore Kalinga is important and warrants renewed interest in investigation into its history. The philosophical underpinnings lie there; standing as the pillars in #Sisupalagada and #PrachiValley

We have seen three phases in the course of the last sixty years.

3. Internet will usher in transparency and fairplay

So much of content on Sri Aurobindo is available online but young generation is incapable of taking advantage. Obviously some guidance or endorsement is needed. Present ideological frameworks don't permit curiosity to foster. So, an aggressive approach for reaching out is needed.

Further, having lived in a village surrounded by all kinds of religious activities for years, I'm sceptical about the salutary claims you make. But then, again, it's personal and subjective; local and contingent. Btw, can litter be used in a positive sense? Thanks. #SriAurobindo

Overall problem is this:

Each person has his impressions and opinions and it's not easy to reconcile them. It's only by putting faith on Sri Aurobindo that we are able to check or test. But on many points it may not be possible. So what's so apparent to you may seem flawed to me.

No disputing with your apprehensions but from what I have observed, it's not in human hands. Always some absurdity becomes normal, I can cite so many examples. So the current phase is also as per Divine plan, there must be some purpose, even contradiction. Expecting ideal in vain

That's great. KB too stresses on his experiences. So, nothing to dispute. But I try to be politically correct and that clashes. Let's hope there will be some resolution in the future driven by circumstances. May be some other perspective emerges.

Claiming that only your tweets emanate from The Mother's lap and my tweets from a dunghill is itself a sign of hare-brain. Your stance on Hindu issue, moreover, is puerile and partisan. Yet, you are eminently entitled to your views and so called unseen experiences.
