India's nightingale , Lata Mangeshkar is singing ,
" NaMo , NaMo
"
Congressmen are livid with rage
Shuklaji is advising Lataji to keep away from politics
and keep out of controversy
And like his predecessor minister of I & B , B V
Keskar , who had banned playing of harmonium and Kishor Kumar songs on All
India Radio ,current I & B minister , Manish Tewariji is considering a ban
on playing of Lata-Songs on all TV channels ! And, of course, on YouTube !
Just as Sardar Patel had banned RSS ?
To pip Arnab Goswami at his " Noise Hour "
debate every night , Rajat Sharma served
a summons on Lataji to appear on " Aap ki Adalat " , and asked :
" Lata Didi
,
You are
alleged to have corrupted classical Indian music
Bhairavi raga
is supposed to be sung in early morning , in order to gently
wake-up the
people
Other day , in
Pune , you sang Bhairavi in the evening and woke up people
from deep
slumber of last 9 years
And you even
re-named the raga as " Raga NaMo " !
What do you
have to say in your defence ? "
Instead of replying , Lataji starts singing :
" ए मेरे वतन के लोगो , अब पकडलो EVM ज़रा जोरसे
जो फूल देखो कमल का , वो बटन दबावों जरा प्यारसे "
Instead of clapping , the audience starts singing
loudly , in raga NaMo :
" आयेगा , आयेगा , आयेगा आनेवाला
आयेगा , आयेगा , आयेगा। ……… "
The singing reverberates thru the length and breadth of
India that is Bharat and fills up every heart
!
Nighingale has sung for 725 million voters
