Identity, music & Bhupen Hazarika: The man who united Assam, talked inclusivity

New Delhi: On a rainy April evening in 1998, the crowd swelled under a Bihu pandal in Guwahati’s Dispur capital complex.  The downpour was doing little to dampen the spirits of the gathering, with some holding umbrellas under the leaking makeshift structure.  Others waded through slushy ground to get a closer look of the stage.  The reason for the concerted efforts to brave the elements became clear soon as minutes later, Bhupen Hazarika arrived, wearing his trademark Gorkha topi, a black kurta and pyjama. Another few seconds and his baritone voice rang out: “Manuhe manuhor babe Jodihe okonu nabhabe Okonu xohanubhutire Bhabibo kunenu kua?” ( If humans wouldn’t think for humans with a little sympathy, Tell me who will, my friend?) One of Northeast’s most famous cultural icons, Hazarika wore many hats. He was a singer, lyricist, activist, filmmaker and a poet who brought the region together, across physical and emotional barriers. His songs not only stirred nationalism and sub-nationalisms during the gloomy days of language riots and ethnic conflicts in the state — starting from the 1960s – but also inspired the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA), which sought Assam’s secession from India. Hazarika was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna Thursday. While the only criticism so far has been that it has come a little too late (he passed away in 2011), the timing of this award can hardly be ignored. Assam has been in the throes of yet another identity debate...

Bhupen Hazarika obituary

One of the most important cultural figures of north-east The eldest of 10 children, Hazarika was born in the village of Sadiya, Assam. He said his musical talent came from his mother, Shantipriya: "Although listening to the rhythms of tribal music growing up developed my love for singing, I inherited my voice from my mother, who regularly sang lullabies to me as a child." His father, Nilakanta, a teacher, instilled in him from a young age the importance of education. By the time he was 10, Hazarika was writing songs and a year later gave his first performance on the hugely popular All India Radio. In 1939 the youngster became a star after delivering a song in the Assamese language film Indramalati. Instead of capitalising on his newfound fame, Hazarika was drawn towards India's struggle for independence. He surrounded himself with intellectuals including the Assamese poet and film-maker Jyoti Prasad Agarwala, who had directed Indramalati, and soon found the connection between education and freedom. "I would attend secret meetings with those who wanted a free India," he said. "Somewhere down the line, the revolutionary in me was born. My music and, later, my film scripts portrayed that ethnic anger I suffered from." Hazarika went to Tezpur high school and Cotton college in Guwahati in 1942, before studying at the Banaras Hindu University for a BA (1944) and MA (1946) in political science. Despite immersing himself in his studies, he carried on singing. "I remember once afte...
