What is global capitalism theory?

Global capitalism refers to the concept of a global economy dominated by globalizing corporations and those who own and control them, operating beyond national boundaries and interests.

What are the three theories of capitalism?

These include laissez-faire or free-market capitalism, state capitalism, and welfare capitalism. Different forms of capitalism feature varying degrees of free markets, public ownership, obstacles to free competition, and state-sanctioned social policies.

What are the 4 types of capitalism?

In our analysis, we found it useful to classify capitalist economies into four categories: oligarchic capitalism, state-guided capitalism, big-firm capitalism, and entrepreneurial capitalism.

*******************************************

The above is just to get to the idea of “Bade log” in todays context. We are in the middle of third decade of 21st century, a quarter of which we all have seen/ lived through.

Alhamdullillah for everything, the grand plan of the Almighty takes shape in the ways he ordains. We humans must just bear it, as we cannot change anything. We can try and equip ourselves, using the faculties granted by the Almighty, to deal with the things destined. With wisdom, dignity, patience, and faith.

We are grappling as a human race, with fears of food shortages, natural calamities like wildfires, unnatural calamities like a nuclear war, plus the biggest fear of all, giving the power over fate, to the unwise, the undignified, the impatient and the faithless.

The biggest responsibility and purpose of the humans in the universe is to be worthy of its creator. We have been given the faculties, granted to no other being. This is the simple purpose of creation; scientists/thinkers/philosophers are trying to find for millennia.

This is “chhotta munh aur badi baat”, but just to state things in the proper perspective as things stand.

The song under discussion is from the film “Phandebaaz” 1978. R. D. Burman is the composer, with lyrics of Anand Bakshi. Mohammed Rafi is singing for Dharmendra and Amit Kumar is singing for Dharmendra’s partner, the actor I cannot name.

These 3 songs are posted in the blog.

Song Date of post
Dulhan khoobsurat hai.. abhi gyaarah nahin baje hain 27 May 2009
Mohabbat mein aji kya aap apna imtihaan denge 28 June 2013
Duniya mein paise binaa kaise hum jiyenge 30 December 2023

Helen is also seen in the song. The filming is done in areas of South Bombay, showing some landmark buildings and roads of the city, how it all looked in 1978. This could be the first duet song of Mohammed Rafi – Amit Kumar to feature in the blog. I had seen a photograph of Kishore Kumar sitting on the floor with a young boy next to the “maiyyat” of Rafi Sahab. It must have been taken on 1st August, 1980 at home, before the funeral procession. The boy is the younger son of Kishore Kumar, looked exactly like Amit Kumar. I mistook him for Amit Kumar. But checked recently that Amit Kumar is much older, and here he is singing duets with Rafi Sahab.

Dharmendra – Rafi songs are not over yet. More landmark songs remain to be posted. I have posted so many over the last 2 months, that a series could have been made.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 10

The sad and pensive songs have about 30% share in all Bollywood songs. Romantic songs will be a little above at 40%. This is a hazardous line of guessing data game. As there are 100% of them, the rest of 30% shall go in which account? They will be the inane, fillers, comic relief, or item numbers. There are less songs now then the golden era, so there is less or everything. Less of meaningless, song fillers, bathroom break type of songs.

Sad songs of ARR are a special breed. Most award winning songs of other musicians are sad songs, not so for ARR. ARR has more dance songs winning accolades. “Jai Ho” in ‘Slumdog Millionaire” is a case in point. I am not sure where to fit “chanda re chanda re”. It is a romantic song with dance/rhythm.

I am posting here a sad song here from the 2015 film “Tamasha”.One song from the film is posted in the blog. I believe I have seen this film in bits and patches, so cannot recall much.

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the famous line “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” means names are mere labels, arbitrary conventions that do not define the essence or true quality of a thing (or person). Juliet says this to Romeo, lamenting that his family name (Montague) is the only barrier to their love, as his actual person is still wonderful regardless of that name.

Remembering Mohammed Rafi Sahab – 101st Birth Anniversary

“Naghmon ka karwaan” is unleashed with this one name. We the Rafians are not in the mood to yet finish the centenary celebrations. The celebrated artist, the legend is celebrated everyday in various forms, through his songs, through the many fans, ever increasing, with newly exposed people. Though all the songs are 4 decades old, but somehow, they never grow old. The younger generation of new fans is ever increasing, and fan clubs abound in the whole world. The musically aware people, when they become aware of the phenomena called Mohammed Rafi, they are surprised and shocked, that where was he, all this while, how come they did not know of him. Then they come to know, that there lived a playback singer in India, who left for heavenly abode on 31st July 1980. But the songs and voice lives on, in the hearts and in the sound waves of the world.

There are some people, who are in our lives, not related to us by blood, but are a very important part of our daily lives. Whom we meet every day, they come and wish us in the morning, they serve us, do a job for us to make our life easier. Yet some form an affinity, a well-wishing, non-interfering, loyal, non-judgmental, they are a friend of the family. Your children, your neighbor’s family, your acquaintances, your relatives, family members in far off and nearby places, your colleagues, your business associates, or whomever you come in regular contact with, associate that person as your so and so.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 9

This is a group song from the film ‘Saathiya” (2002), written by Gulzar. The singers are Richa Sharma, Mahalakshmi Iyer and Vaishali Shoma. Recently another song from this film is posted as post no. 7 of the series.

The lyrics of “Chhalka chhalka re” were waiting in drafts for some days now. But I thought will post the wedding songs later, exactly what is the reason for the other song going before this is the Sonu Nigam factor and the natural scenery plus the colourful. Also, once the words registered, they just had to be dissected for what they said and meant.

The star cast here is Rani Mukherji, Vivek Oberoi, Tanuja, Satish Shah, Sharat Saxena, Swaroop Sampat, Virendra Saxena, Sandhya Mridul etc. Most of these actors are visible in the song, except for Satish Shah. Rani Mukherji’s cousin is getting married, and Vivek Oberoi is part of the baraat as the groom’s friend.

This film was the Hindi remake of the hit Tamil film “Alaipayuthey” (2000), directed by Mani Ratnam. All A.R. Rahman compositions from the original film were reused in this film, except for “Naina Milaay Ke” and “Mainda Yaar Mila De Saaiyan”, which were new compositions.

The bride’s emotions in the tears flowing from her eyes, are stated as ‘Chhalka Chhalka re kalsi ka paani”. Different way of expression, as are some other terms in the song.

In the middle of the song, in between the playful antics between the bridal party and groom’s friends, Vivek Oberoi is trying to find out Rani Mukherji’s name. He bumps into the father and asks him for Rani’s name. The father says “Ladke, baaraat mein aaye ho warna tumko paraat mein daal ke goondh detaa”. I have never heard such threats.

Years ago, when my son was young, once he watched me making the dough. He was standing beside me watching with fascination. I still remember him saying “aata akela hogayaa”. I said “akelaa nahin ek ho gayaa”. Different way of seeing and understanding. The flour is, we don’t know comes from which wheat, from which field and here it comes to us in the flour form. We mix it with water, and it becomes one, several lakh different seeds. Only to get separated / divided and cooked in different chapatis.

Great, this Gulzariology is adversely affecting me, 😊.

It is another one of critically acclaimed songs by A. R. Rehman.

Ta’areef uss khuda ki jis ne jahaan banaaya – Non-Film Song (Jagjit & Chitra Singh)

तारीफ़ उस ख़ुदा की जिस ने जहां बनाया
कैसी ज़मीं बनाई क्या आसमां बनाया

पांव तले बिछाया क्या ख़ूब फ़र्श-ए-ख़ाकी
और सर पे लाजवर्दी इक साएबां बनाया

मिट्टी से बेल-बूटे क्या ख़ुशनुमा उगाए
पहना के सब्ज़ ख़िलअत उन को जवां बनाया

ख़ुश-रंग और ख़ुशबू गुल फूल हैं खिलाए
इस ख़ाक के खंडर को क्या गुलिस्तां बनाया

मेवे लगाए क्या क्या ख़ुश-ज़ाएक़ा रसीले
चखने से जिन के मुझ को शीरीं-दहां बनाया

सूरज बना के तू ने रौनक़ जहां को बख़्शी
रहने को ये हमारे अच्छा मकां बनाया

प्यासी ज़मीं के मुंह में मेंह का चुवाया पानी
और बादलों को तू ने मेंह का निशां बनाया

ये प्यारी प्यारी चिड़ियां फिरती हैं जो चहकती
क़ुदरत ने तेरी उन को तस्बीह-ख़्वां बनाया

तिनके उठा उठा कर लाईं कहां कहां से
किस ख़ूब-सूरती से फिर आशियां बनाया

ऊंची उड़ें हवा में बच्चों को पर न भूलें
इन बे-परों का उन को रोज़ी-रसां बनाया

क्या दूध देने वाली गाएं बनाईं तू ने
चढ़ने को मेरे घोड़ा क्या ख़ुश-इनां बनाया

रहमत से तेरी क्या क्या हैं नेमतें मयस्सर
इन नेमतों का मुझ को है क़द्र-दां बनाया

आब-ए-रवां के अंदर मछली बनाई तू ने
मछली के तैरने को आब-ए-रवां बनाया

हर चीज़ से है तेरी कारीगरी टपकती
ये कारख़ाना तू ने कब राएगां बनाया

Ismail Meerathhi writes the above “Hamd”. The above is the full Hamd in ghazal format, in devnagari script.

“Tarif us Khuda ki jisne jahan banaya” is a famous Urdu poem (Nazm) by Ismail Merathi (1844-1917), a pivotal figure in modern Urdu literature known for awakening intellect through simple, descriptive verses, particularly for children, focusing on nature, God’s creation, and moral lessons, making this poem a classic praise of the Creator’s artistry in making the world.

I have a list of ‘Yaad” songs to post. This being a classic “yaad” song, with the oft repeated line “Teri Yaad Saathh hai”. This song is unforgettable in many aspects. Over the years, I have wanted to post this one. Whenever Raahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice is heard, this is the song I remember every time. So consistent is the association.

After visiting UK and London in 2021, I looked up this song but could not find the link with such visuals which are here in the full audio version. Video clip is small with the song playing in the background, when Rishi Kapoor visits India and taking his wife and daughter Katrina Kaif around and they visit all the important places of worship, mostly in north India and the trip ends with the Taj Mahal visit. In the full audio version, the whole films scenes and story is related in partly present and flashback. I have seen the film 2-3 times. It makes a good watch, light romance and decent songs.

As usual, I cannot keep away from Rafi songs for long. I stumbled upon this movie in the list of songs movie-wise and saw only 7 songs are posted out of 12. The movie is Mastani (1955), the middle of 50’s decade when Rafi Sahab was still finding his niche in the industry and was adding variety of flavourful spices in each new song, he sang for each new actor. The talent of instilling mischief and new murkiyan in the rendition, became the highlight of each music score, who ever be the composer. It also put the other male playback singers in the shade because none could compete. Not the old brigade of singers of 40’s, who sedate style of singing was soon to become obsolete. Mid 50’s was also the time when music score with Rafi sahab as solo male singer started.

Some thought he could find his core strength in playback and people can bracket him into a comic singer, or a theme song singer, or faqeer baba singer. But it was soon clear, that there was no genre of song that the MD could compose and Rafi Sahab could not sing. This was the voice of hero, in romance and sadness, voice of the character actors, and voice anyone else having a song to sing in the films script.
