Modern Rabindra Sangeet

Modern Rabindra Sangeet.
Rabindra nath more or less worked with all parts of Bengali literature and his creations covered all the areas. Out of the entire creations he seemed to have written highest number of songs and the same was around three thousand.



Initially his songs were not popular and the same were restricted to upper middle class only.The same subsequently  were  brought to the common masses.
Debabrata Biswas possibly was first man who sang Rabindra Sangeet at the open meeting of communist party of  India and this was the first time in a public meeting of communist party Rabindra Sangeet was sung.Pankaj Kumar Mallik , Debabrata Biswas and Hemanta Mukherjee etc took leading role in popularising  Rabindra Sangeet and ultimately the same got immense popularity.


The scholar persons say Rabindra Sangeet  survives for ever.  Music Board despite their various misdeeds played an  important role of   little maintaining the sanctity of Rabindra Sangeet till the period of Sailaja Ranjan Mazumder.
After that those who took charge  , to me  they were criminals as they stopped recording of Debabrata Biswas.


However,  after the abolition of Music Board Rabindra Sangeet has become free from any bindings and every Singer sings according to self wish.
As a result the same have lost it's excellence In comparison to earlier songs. 

To me the present style has been damaging and the future of the same Is uncertain.
