The voices of sisters Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle defined the past half century of female playback singing.
As daughters of Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar, a noted Marathi theatre actor, musician and Hindustani classical vocalist, the sisters, along with their siblings Usha and Hridayanath Mangeshkar, were introduced to music very early on through their father’s plays. When he died of heart disease, Lata, 13, and Asha, nine, started singing and acting to support the family. Mentored by a close family friend and film producer Winayak Damodar Karnataki, they decided to move from Indore to Mumbai, where both would start with playback singing for Marathi films, Lata in ’42 and Asha in ’43, before moving on to Hindi cinema.
Significantly, however, despite the clear differences and seemingly demarcated territories, the sisters sang within the same tonal range and with a similarly childlike innocence. In the decades that they dominated the female playback industry, the sisters sang everything there was to sing.
From February 2013, read Isha Singh Sawhney's essay "The Ladies Sing the Blues," on the old and new era for female playback singing: caravanmagazine.in/reviews-a…

Babies get raped. Elderly women get raped. Women dressed modestly get raped. Women in hijabs get raped. Nuns get raped. Women in jeans, tracksuits, pyjamas, school uniforms, work uniforms get raped. There is no outfit that prevents rape and no outfit that invites it.
If you are more comfortable analysing a woman’s clothing than condemning a rapist, you are part of the problem.

ਬੀਤੇ ਦਿਨੀਂ ਫਿਰੋਜ਼ਪੁਰ ਦੇ ਪਿੰਡ ਖਾਈ ਫ਼ੇਮੇ ਕੀ ਦਾ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਪਾਕਿਸਤਾਨੀ ਡਰੋਨ ਹਮਲੇ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਿਕਾਰ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਅੱਜ ਹਸਪਤਾਲ 'ਚ ਇਲਾਜ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਦੇ ਇੱਕ ਮੈਂਬਰ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਹੋ ਗਈ। ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਦਿਲੋਂ ਹਮਦਰਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ।
ਵੈਸੇ ਤਾਂ ਇਨਸਾਨ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦੀ ਕੀਮਤ ਮਾਪੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੀ। ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ 10 ਲੱਖ ਰੁਪਏ ਦੀ (5 ਲੱਖ ਮੁੱਖ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਰੀਲੀਫ ਫੰਡ 'ਚੋਂ ਅਤੇ 5 ਲੱਖ MP ਸੰਜੀਵ ਅਰੋੜਾ ਜੀ ਵਲੋਂ) ਆਰਥਿਕ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।

पिछले दिनों फिरोज़पुर के गांव खाई फ़ेमे की का एक परिवार पाकिस्तानी ड्रोन हमले का शिकार हो गया था। आज अस्पताल में इलाज के दौरान परिवार के एक सदस्य की मृत्यु हो गई। हम दिल से परिवार के प्रति संवेदना व्यक्त करते हैं।
वैसे तो इंसान की ज़िंदगी की कोई कीमत नहीं आंकी जा सकती। परिवार को 10 लाख रुपए की (5 लाख मुख्यमंत्री रिलीफ फंड में से और 5 लाख सांसद संजीव अरोड़ा जी की ओर से) आर्थिक सहायता दी जाएगी।

ALT A screenshot of a long quote. It states: “The Taliban want to erase girls and women from all public life in Afghanistan – to keep girls out of school and women out of work, to deny them the ability to travel without a male family member, and to force them to cover their faces and bodies completely. We must not lose our sense of alarm for Afghan women as the Taliban continue to break their promises. Even now, women are taking to the streets to fight for their human rights and dignity – all of us, and especially those from Muslim countries, must stand with them. I am asking leaders around the world to take collective action to hold the Taliban accountable for violating the human rights of millions of women and girls.”
