#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
The song being presented in this post is from the movie ‘Ahinsa Path’ from the year 1949. Very less information is available about this movie. HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950) lists six songs of this movie, but there is no information on its cast and director.
As per Geet Kosh “Ahinsa Path-1949” was a movie presented by ‘Aruna Productions, Bombay’. Harish Bharadwaj was the composer for this movie. The six songs are sung by Poornima Chatterjee, Harish Bharadwaj, Sahana Maitra and chorus. Lyricist’s name for the songs is not known except for one song which has been covered earlier on this blog. Some sources on internet mention Aruna BA as lyricist for the song under discussion.
Today’s song is sung by Sahana Maitra. It is a nice song which preaches the use of ‘charkhaa’ (spinning wheel) and exhorts people to promote the use of charkhaa as a means of nation building.
Today on the occasion of 156th birth anniversary of our father of nation Mahatma Gandhi (02.10.1869-30.01.1948) let us listen to this song and pay our tributes to him.
It was Gandhi ji who strongly encouraged people to spin ‘khaadee’ on ‘charkhaa’. He insisted that all people irrespective of classes and gender should spend some time each day on spinning of ‘khaadee’ to support the Indian Independence movement.
Let us now listen to this song.
Song-Charkha kaato to beda paar hai (Ahinsa Path)(1949) Singer-Sahana Maitra, Lyricist-Aruna B A, MD-Harish Bhardwaj
