INDUBALA DEVI: Mohe Panghat Pe Nandlal Chhed Gayo Re…

Indubala's mother was Rajabala, who along with sister Matibala and brother Tinkary worked in Motilal Bose's The Great Bengal Circus, also known as Bose's Circus or Professor Bose's Circus. Indubala was born in November 1899 at Amritsar, where the circus party had gone for performance. Indu was born premature and Dr Bidhumukhi Basu was taken to Amritsar from Calcutta to attend to Rajabala. Indubala's first training in music was from her mother. The initial plan was to train Indu as a nurse and she was admitted as a trainee in a hospital in the Pataldanga locality of Calcutta. Indu did not take fancy in the job and ran away from the hospital, much to the disappointment of her mother, who never wanted her only daughter to be forced into a life of indignity. After this incident Indubala's musical training started. In later years she took training from Girin Chakraborty, Kamal Dasgupta, Subal Dasgupta, Jamiruddin Khan and Kazi Nazrul Islam. In time she came to be one of the major exponents of Nazrul songs and her songs along with those of Miss Angurbala and Kamala Jharia are still referred to for authenticity of lyrics and tunes of Nazrul songs. In 1916, Indubala recorded her first songs. As a playback singer, she lent her voice in films like Alibaba (1937), Chandragupt (1934) in Hindi, Ab E Hayat (1933) in Urdu and Dil Ki Pyaas (1935) also in Urdu. She did not act in these four films. Indubala did not receive any major award apart from the Gold Disc given on behalf of His Master's Voice. The government of India never considered her name for any award. The Sangeet Natak Academy, however, honoured her with a lifetime achievement award in 1975. The government of West Bengal, India, however, did arrange for a pension for which a lot of running about had to be done. The end came on the thirtieth day of November 1984 after a prolonged illness during which again Dr Badhan Sengupta looked after her as his mother. Perhaps by coincidence, her friend Angurbala died the same year.
For non-Hindi-Urdu speakers, we have subtitled this video in English, which has been translated by Ms TOSHALI GOEL, Wellesley College Wellesley, MA, USA.

[@biswaruppual1183]

Beautiful and truthful presentation. It is really sad that Bengali Bhadralok society don't recommend her name for Government of India award. She deseves Padma Vibhushan and Dada Saheb Phalke awards. The present dispensation should immediately send her name for these awards. Then only justice will prevail. Our respects to this Greatest of the Great Bengali artist. 🙏

Afreen bro .it's a great and unique programme. Salam to you. Your articulation is passionate and very well researched. Your programme takes into lost world and a world reborn again by your marvellous presentation. It is the same trial and tribulations which was in yesteryears is similar in our advanced digital pandemic ridden life . The living moments of today will fade away and will become dust of history. This dust must be preserved venerated and glorified as monumental human achievements.

A momentous documentary.... thank you for bringing the forgotten pioneers to the new generation. Only point is, pronunciation of some of the Bengali words should be taken care of- PaToldanga, BadHon etc. Good job done overall. 🌿🙏🌿

[@SureeleDinonKiDastan]

Thanks for your valuable comment. A person from one area cannot pronounce the language of another area in the same way.

[@ShampaShuchismita16]

@@SureeleDinonKiDastan That I know. But remember Lata Mangeshkarji, Asha Bhonsleji, Suman Kalyanpurji, Talat Mamudji, Md. Rafi Sahab, Mukesh Sahab and many more artists sang songs not only in Bengali, but in different languages too with perfect pronuciation. My point is PERFECTION. As much as possible. Specially in cases of names. Thank you for the reply.
