This day, 50 years ago, the nation woke up to some somber and dreadful headlines. The war on the Himalayan border had intensified, with fresh attacks by China, on the Indian border outposts, after a lull of about 3 weeks. A border dispute between the two countries had reached a flash point with China attacking India, in a planned and concentrated manner in the very early hours of 20th October, 1962. In what is termed as the Himalyan Blunder on the part of the political and military leadership of India, within a matter of 4 days, we had lost large tracts of territory on both the eastern sectors (NEFA, now known as Arunachal Pradesh) and the western sectors (Askai Chin). After gaining a very important strategic and psychological upper hand, China announced a unilateral cease fire and there was a lull in fighting for a period of three weeks.

A few days back, one of the readers of this blog commented on the song arree hato kaahe ko jhoothhi banaao batiyaan sung by Manna Dey that he is not a versatile singer. Well, the reader has given his view which we respect in line with ‘pasand apni apni khayal apna apna’. Of course, with such a sweeping statement, there were responses by some of the regulars of this blog. A few examples of songs in support of Manna Dey’s singing versatility were also listed. There is no doubt that Manna Dey is a complete singer. His repository of singing encompasses classical, patriotic, romantic, light comedy, ghazal and more. His versatility goes beyond the different genres of songs. Take for instance the variations in his renditions within the genre of romantic songs of expressing love – tera haath haath mein aa gayaa, roop tumhaaraa aankhon se pi loon, tum jo aao to pyaar aa jaaye and some non-filmy songs like ‘ye awaara raatein ye koyi si baatein’ and ‘ nazaaron mein ho tum khayaalon mein ho tum’.
