Not very demcratic, but then these ancient scriptures were written in an entirely different era.

I first became aware of the movie “Saarangaa” (1960) in 1970s when I heard the title song of this movie in the local station of Vividh Bharati in the evening. It was then that I first heard about music director Sardar Malik. For a considerable time after that, I associated the title song of “Saranga” with Sardar Malik. This song (Saarangaa teri yaad mein(Saarangaa)(1960) )is already posted in this blog.

And record players were in any case unaffordable for most music lovers.
