Social concerns of India's nightingale Lata Mangeshkar

[Pramod Ranjan]

Playback singer Lata Mangeshkar was the uncrowned queen of Indian music for over seven decades. Her songs were heard and admired not only in India but also in many other countries including Pakistan and Bangladesh. This article is about her social concerns and political leanings. At the level of thought, she was close to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which is infamous for its Nazi-like ideology. Many incidents of her life show that she preferred communal politics over secularism. She also kept away from the Dalit issues.

[Anirudh Deshpande]

Dear Pramod,

I enjoyed your article on Lata. Always wonder how different from her was Rafi, Manna, Talat, Mukesh and Kishore. Examine the secular views of Dilip Kumar in contrast. In fact, she is a blot on the otherwise hitherto secular character of Bollywood. Now the place is crowded with Hindu communalists. 

Best,

Anirudh.
