The Queen of Indian Melody and Bollywood icon LATA MANGESHKAR dies from COVID. Her music kept Indo-Fijians sane through the darkest days of Sitiveni Rabuka's coup, rape, robbery, beatings, torture in 1987

6/2/2022

 

While cowering inside their homes from the racist thug's Sunday Observance Decree, Lataji' songs gave them hope to live on, to fight for their rights. Today, Indo-Fijian HINDU traitors (who hate Indo-Fijian Muslims and Indo-Fijian Christians- from our personal experiences) are cutting political deals with Rabuka so they can be in power with him. They cannot accept nor believe how Aiyaz Khaiyum has survived in power for too long, and is currently Acting Prime Minister. To them,  power must be wrapped around the dhotis of NFP Hindus, otherwise
Fiji is, and never will be, ready for an Indo-Fijian Prime Minister. The latest rumour they are spreading is that our Editor-in-Chief, branding him an Indo-Fijian Christian, has been on Qorvis payroll since 2013, and is being bankrolled by Frank Bainimarama and Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum.
Why? Because we have dared to strip Biman Prasad naked of his political dhoti, and expose what his real election game plan is for 2022.
The NFP has blocked Fijileaks from its Facebook page. But we will not let these political traitors and scoundrels rest in peace. Meanwhile,

Rest in Peace, LATA MANGESHKAR
1929-2022

Lata Mangeshkar's last message was a shloka (verse) of Bhagavad Gita.
In December 2021, hailing the contributions of the leaders who have led India in the past 75 years, and thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership, Lataji recited the immortal lines of the 'Bhagavad Gita':
'Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati Bharata / abhyuttanam adharmasya tadaatmanaam shrujamyaham' (Whenever dharma - that is, the edifice of ethical life - is in danger, I reincarnate myself on Earth for the well-being of mankind).
'Paritranaya sadhoonaam vinashayacha dushkritaam / dharma samsthapanarthaya sambhavaami yuge yuge' (For the protection of the good and the destruction of evil, for the establishment of Dharma,
I am reborn from one age to the next).

The Nightingale's rise to fame: from struggling artist to songbird

* Lata Mangeshkar was born on September 28, 1929 in the city of Indore  to sing. She recorded her first song aged 13, for a film called Kiti Hasaal and even though it didn't make the final cut, thus began her forage into becoming a playback icon.  
* And it would seem the arts ran in the family as her father, Dinanath Mangeshkar, was a well-known stage personality known as Master Dinanath, according to Britannica.
* As a young girl, she would star in plays that he produced.  He trained Ms Mangeshkar, the eldest of five, from when she was a five-year-old. Despite being very practiced in classically trained music, she never received a formal education. 
* The young singer was taught the Marathi alphabet by a maid, and Sanskrit by a local priest, as well as being tutored in subjects by various relatives at home, the BCC reported.  
* The aspiring singer struggled to make it big as a teenager, because of the big personalities dominating the Hindi film industry in the 1940s.  However in 1949 her big break came with the recording of 'Aayega Aanewaala' for the movie Mahal, often cited as Bollywood's first horror film. 
* After that Ms Mangeshkar went on to become the quintessential singing voice behind every major leading lady, sealing her place as a cornerstone component of Hindi cinema. Her voice transcended through icons across multiple generations in Bollywood and by the 1960s, she had worked with some of the best composers in the field such as Anil Biswas, Naushad Ali, Madan Mohan, SD Burman, C Ramchandra and Khayyam, the Hindustan Times reports.  Her vocal range could bring both a youthful joyful energy and a sad crooning romantic, with music directors often composing in such a way to take advantage of her impressive versatility and range.
* Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was even once moved to tears by her rendition of 'Ae Mere Watan Ke Logo', a patriotic song by the poet Kavi Pradeep which chronicles the Indian soldiers' lives lost in the Sino-Indian War in 1962.
* By 1991, she was credited with having made 30,000 recordings in 14 Indian languages between 1948 and 1987. She was awarded with one of India's highest civilian honours, the Padma Vibhushan, in 1999 and was presented with the prestigious performance award Bharat Ratna in 2001.
* She is only the second film celebrity to have received it.   And it seems as though Ms Mangeshkar too felt it was her destiny to sing. She was once quoted as saying: 'I feel God has sent me to Earth to sing.
* 'I started singing when I was five, but I don't think I've worked as hard as many other people.'
