Farasat Anees’ song Biba and T-Series' version of the same name are inspired by Pakistani qawwali legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Je Toon Akhiyan De Samne.
Folk music just wasn’t cutting it anymore for Sarvjeet Tamta, a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan fan who left home 10 years ago at the age of 16. He hasn't looked back since.
As flamboyant as Bappi Lahri with his gold and silver gems and as magnificent as Taher Shah with his lines, Chahat is already in the league of all-time greats.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
