In responding to Sona Mohapatra’s below mentioned comment,
Mohapatra explains that using a single story, hers, was Gupta’s creative choice, but adds, “There really aren’t any other female singers/artistes I know of in India who are even standing up for gender equality as publicly as I am”, I wish to remind her and Ms. Deepti Gupta that there is one renowned singer who fits into the same rebel category as hers about 40 years ago when Waste Bengal had a PWD Minister called Jatin (Jackie) Chakrabarty.
Ms. Usha Uthu gave it bak to him when the Minister had made a few uncomplimentary comments on her style, approach and attitude to singing on stage here in Calcutta. Like Ms. Mohapatra, Ms. Uthup was very versatile.
I wish PRINT shares this information with her because it might help her find a good friend, mentor and guide, IF she wishes so. She appears quite independent otherwise to me.
Sona -means Gold, Sona Mohapatra seems enterprising and imaginative to seek her own solutions
to the problems the society has laid out before her and other self respecting women of her time.
She has also new way of looking at the evolution of music,entertainment and culture in our akanda Bharat.This is a very stimulating field and one unexplored so far.
My good wishes for the success of her documentary to be screened on the Toronto film festival
