About
Reams have been written about Bhupen Hazarika and the entire nation and Assam have been grieving at his demise. He was a towering figure and indeed placed Assam on the world map. Whoever ever heard his baritone voice could never forget it. More than two generations of people in India and migrants abroad have grown up listening to his songs. Patriotic, political, love songs, folk songs, music he composed for films and innumerable occasions when he sang in person - he mesmerized his audiences wherever he sang. People loved him. I had started working on Sattriya dances of Assam, visiting Guwahati from 1958, after I saw the dances for the first time in All India Dance Seminar, along with my mentor and guru Mohan Khokar, convened by Sangeet Natak Akademi in April 1958 in New Delhi.
