Greetings to all on the anniversary of India’s independence.

When the British Rule ended in India sixty seven years ago, the entire nation of India was not yet free of the foreign rule, by other alien invaders.

On the east coast, it was the enclaves of Pondicherry, Karaikkal, Mahe and Yanam that were under the French control, and on the west coast, there were the areas of Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli that were under the control of the Portuguese rule. The movement of the liberation of these colonies had been underway even as the freedom struggle was in progress against the British. However, liberation to these colonies held by the French and the Portuguese did not come for more than a decade and half later.

“Sambandh” (1969) was a movie based on a Bangla novel. This movie had Pradeep Kumar,Deb Mukherji,Anjana Manjrekar (later Anjana Mumtaz),Sulochana etc in it. The movie was produced by Shashdhar Mukherji to launch the acting career of his son Deb Mukherji, just as he had helped launch the career of his eldest son Joy Mukherji one decade back with a home production movie, viz ‘Love in Shimla” (1960).

O P Nayyar, who ruled the roost in Hindi movie music scene in 1950s and 1960s had lost much of his ground by the end of 1960s. But I find that the music that he created in his last few movies was perhaps as outstanding as any music that he created in his earlier more heralded music.
