Today’s song is from the film Badi Maa-1945.

The second world war had affected the British Raj very badly. There was Rationing of essential commodities and food items such as Rice and Sugar as well as other necessities like petrol, Kerosene etc. The film industry was hit greatly because the main ingredient of films- The Raw film- was put under Rationing. Small filmmakers were hit badly and the big ones got a limited quota based on their average production of the last 5 years. Like other items of rationing, even Raw film was available in Black market at an exorbitant price.

Today’s song is from a very old film- Janmabhoomi-1936.

During the British Raj, film makers had to be very careful in making a film to ensure that nothing derogatory or against the Raj was found in the film. Making a Patriotic film was a risky business and hence hardly any direct patriotic dialogue or songs could be found which would incite the Censor Board to hold their film for issuance of the Censor Certificate.

Today’s song is a duet from a very old film-almost 90 year old- Gramophone Singer-1938.

From the 19th century till the beginning years of the 20th Century, the only means of public entertainment was stage dramas and local folk dances pertaining to each demographic region individually. The first gramophone recording took place in India when 2 Nautch Girls- Sashi Mukhi and Feni Bala from Amarendra Dutta’s classical Theatre sang songs in Calcutta on 8-11-1902, Saturday, for a recording.

This blog started on the first day of shrawan (which fell on 19 july 2008) and that month of shrawan ended on 16 august 2008. Last day of the month of Shrawan which happens to be shrawan purnima is celebrated as the festival of Rakhi.

In other words, the blog started on the first day of shrawan and it had its first rakhi festival day exactly on the last date of that month.

All this was without any planning at the human level. It was destiny ordaining all these without the knowledge of us mortals. I have discovered this fact only now, 16 years later, as I took up the task of penning an article for this year’s rakhi festival.
