rendition of this D.L. Roy song performed by Nupurchhanda Ghosh.

by Dwijendralal Roy in the late 19th century. Played a big part in the

MS
Subbulakshmi is not just the foremost proponent of Carnatic classical
music but also embodies the best in human values. She also has a great
history going back to Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and other leaders of the
freedom struggle. Hence it is a treat to see such a historic song sung
by her.
