Shiv Kumar Batalvi - Live Interview

This upload is intended to be a public service to the millions of punjabi poetry lovers all round the world who have come to adore the Poetry of Shiv Kumar Batalvi.
This extract is a live interview with the genius, and gives a glimpse of the mindset that created all the work we have come to love.
In my view, his own rendition carries far more feeling & emotion than experienced from other singers.
Hope you will enjoy as much as I have.

Amazing Person. His poetry was sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan as well. He was born in Pakistani city Narowal in Shakargarh District.

We should have to just and give each other their rights. PEACE LOVE TO ALL INDIANS :) .

I agree we need to be sensitive to his family. True Punjabi culture is to be sensitive to feelings of all. Big lesson for me is to focus less on the gossip surrounding SKB's life & just enjoy his work & mindset (surt in Punjabi) Let us ask what lesssons we can take from his work that give us enjoyment & improve our quality of life. Listening to his interview, I pick out the inequalities in society & the rituals that create pain. Let us see if we can do our little bit to change these.

We value and respect all those who are no more in this world, His dying in youth attracts me much. He must be a sage incarnate, I think.
