Debabrata Biswas and Viswa Bharati Music Board.

There was a music Board. under Bisha Bharati in short   it was named as BMB. The life time of the same was fifty years from the day I of the death of Rabindra Nath. For each recording of Rabindra Sangeet  irrespective of all singers the approval of  the BMB was a must .As regards recording of Debabrata Biswas is concerned there was no problem till Sailaja Ranjan Maunder was in charge of the Board.Mazumder was highly  scholar person and expert  of Rabindra Sangeet. He was highly  respected person for his profound knowledge both in academic side and Rabindra Sangeet.After his death eminent expert of Rabindra Sangeet took over as head of the. Board . Debabrata Biswas had no problem with it Anadi Babu and after his death the problem started when the responsibility were given to a group of singers like Suchitra Mitra. Kanika  Nilima Sen. Subinoy  ROY and. Santidev Ghosh . They were junior to Debabrata Biswas both in age and experience. They raised a question for the first time in regard to use the music violating the norms of the Board.Debabrata replied with the facts and figures and the same was purely academic but the issue was not settled despite prolonged correspondences. Debabrata did not surrender to them in stead he stopped recording.The technical question which had been raised was official one but the unofficial reasons were they were jealous of his unprecedented popularity and highest earning of royalty . The most funny thing and surprising the most of  the then intellectuals who claimed to be close fans  they remained totally silent.He had to fight the war alone with a very straight bat that's his pen only . He didn't get any support from his Co Artists excepting only one Gita Ghatak. Despite the fact though he stopped recording but with the help of tape recorder he recorded about thousand songs . We should be happy just after completing fifty years of death of Rabindra Nath the Music Board had been abolished. My labour will be fruitful if you could take the pain of reading the same.Typographical errors are regretted.
