Bengali being #RealMagic
We have never given an inch to claim our rights. Every time there was an obstacle, we moved in protest. And one of the means of that protest was our mass music.
The song Hey Samalo is a living document of the awakening of people's durbar, of getting their rights. This song written by Salil Chowdhury about the Tevaga movement of such deprived people in 1946-1948.
Protest begets another protest. And so in 1952, the ruling group, who had hurt our language, stood against it. That's when Abdul Latif's immortal creation 'Ora Amar Mukha Katha' was born. That timeless song when the small band of Bandarban created strange magical tunes on their own flutes. Added to this is the Raibeshe war dance which is one of the oldest folk dances.

You can check The famous Bangladeshi painter and Artist Zainul Abedin. His famous works are on the famines of the Bengal during British Colonial period. His artworks depicts so much that whoever sees those heartbreakingly good works gets heartbroken too!
কৃষি আমাদের রক্তে। আমাদের যত আন্দোলন রচিত হয়েছে তার শুরুই হয়েছে কৃষকের অধিকার আদায়ে। সাথে যুক্ত হয়েছে ভাষা আন্দোলন। পরবর্তিতে নাগরিক অধিকার।
ধন্যবাদ তেভাগা আন্দোলন আর কৃষকদের স্বরণ করার জন্য।
This medley is about the struggles that shaped modern Bengal, we call these Gana Sangeet or Mass awakening songs. Bengal and Bengalis have been at the forefront of popular revolutionary movements within the subcontinent. This is irrespective of which side of the border Radcliffe pushed them into. The song "Hey Samalo Dhan" literally translates to " Protect your paddy". This song was penned and composed by the great Salil Chowdhury, a member of the IPTA, cultural wing of the Communist Party, who also happened to be a very popular music director of Bombay film industry. I am sure you have heard many songs composed by him eg Zindagi kaisi Hain paheli, Dil Tadap tadap ke, O sajna barkha bahar ayi, aye mere pyare watan to name a few.Tebhaga movement, as you correctly mentioned, was a direct consequence of the British imposed Bengal famine. This pushed the peasents to get themselves organised under the banner of the Krishok Sabha (Peasents' Union) of the Communist Party and pushed the last nail in the coffin of the British Empire. It's impact was felt across undivided Bengal and many historians argue that this helped in elevating mass consciousness of the common people. This continued in West Bengal as the massive "Food movement" against the incumbent government of the 50s where several peasents were killed by police action.
As for the language and Bangladesh movement, you are spot on. However, the essence of the song captures the spirit of resistance of Bengalis, as a whole. We are lucky that unlike Punjabis, we have been able to maintain good relationship with our brethren across the border. It is easy to visit Bangladesh and India and millions do it each year, leading to massive cultural exchange. This has been captured by Coke Studio too. Many artists from Indian West Bengal have performed in Coke Studio Bangla. Soumyadeep Murshidabadi, Sunidhi Nayek, Madhubanti Bagchi are from West Bengal. Even Arnob, Ripon "Boga" have studied from Shantiniketan in West Bengal, the university established by Rabindranath Thakur.
So this is a not a patriotic song per se, it does not eulogise the nation, but speaks of legitimate struggle of the common people of mighty Bengal.
For us as Bengalis, we structure our sense of identification more like the French than anyone else. For us language is not just a pillar of our identity it is the whole basis of it. Without the Bengali language there is no Bengali people. Much of our tradition is orally transmitted as the song describes. And to institutionally stifle it like it was in 1952, is to kill our collective consciousness as a people group.
This is a really good comparison! It'd never occurred to be me before. The ethno-linguistic identity of the Bengalis is truly something unique in the subcontinent; what a shame that we have been divided the way we have been.
To be fair what we speak is collectively Bengali
Only makes sense to break the two strongest arms of India, Bengal and Punjab. These were the two wealthiest provinces when the British arrived and later gave them a lot of grief during the freedom struggle. And, of course, it was part of destroying the overall Economic Bloc that the Indian subcontinent would have been otherwise.
I really appreciate how you go through lyrics and also history to get into the song! As a 🇧🇩, i am really glad the way you guys didn’t shy off, but acknowledged the history, we shared in past. Thanks so much.
This is the reason I love to watch your videos. You are true to your hearts, to your thoughts and never shy to express the Truth. Thanks to both of you.
Respect from Bangladesh.
Its a bangla language movement song written in 1953 just one year after secrificed bengali people their life for own mother language in 21 feb 1952. Now it is international mother language day
কইতো যাহা আমার দাদায়, কইছে তাহা আমার বাবায়
এখন কও দেহি ভাই মোর মুখে কি অন্য কথা শোভা পায়
কও দেহি ভাই❤
The tune and the flute-like instrument played in the beginnings is from the indigenous "Mro" community.
And the oral drum syllables "jhaur ghijar ghija ghinita" part is spoken out loud during Raibeshe performance, which is a folk martial art form, originally from the pre-partition Bengal.
Both of these songs were and are sung as "gono shongeet". Not sure what the translation should be for this, but "gono shongeet" are the songs that speak of our courage and bravery which are played to inspire people during difficult times. These two songs highlight Bengali's strength and resilience in the face of oppression. You have tackled our bitter history honestly which is much appreciated.
Hey Haris! Get well soon. Speedy recovery man!
Well, I have met many Pakistanis and believe me no one has any idea about 21st February or Mother Language Day. Honestly I was never surprised about it because it was obvious.
So personally I want to thank you and show my humble gratitude towards you guys as 21st February is a very important day for Bengalis. Bengal has always been underrated, I think there was no other province like Bengal in the Indian subcontinent as rich in terms of art, music, cinema, literature and science. Unfortunately separation of Bengal was a Mistake. End of great culture and history That's all!
I always look forward to your unbiased, sincere, and thoughtful reaction videos. Today the way you spoke about the historical background associated with the Coke Studio Bangla 'Hey Samalo' song and acknowledged the 1952 Bangla Language Movement, you both earned my utmost respect!
Most UA-cam reactors usually only talk about Coke Studio Bangla’s music ingenuity and its production. There are very few UA-camrs out there who posses the knowledge of this sub continent’s history as well of its music. You two are among those few. It was amazing hearing you discussing about the ever suppressed Bengal famine of 1943 and the Bangla language movement of 1952. That is why I eagerly wait to see your reactions.
The way you guys mentioned the impact of Bengali language movement and what it would be like if it was not a success, was tremendous! Even very few Bangladeshi people actually realise that in current time! Kudos!
Thank you for acknowledging and appreciating Bangladeshi history, music, art & literature. Loved watching such detailed review of coke studio 1 with you guys :)
Saotal (in Bengali) community plays the instrument . They have beautiful style of singing. There are are so many saotal songs of different mood you will found in YT
Thank you so much for your beautiful ruminations on the revolutionary history of the Bengali people. Listening to you guys is always a treat because there's such a thoughtfulness to the way you approach any music.
Our literature and art was never lost. During the struggling period of 1947-1971 numerous literature has been emerged on the issue. Secondly literature was a weapon to create mass awarness
The indigenous flute sounded so magical, I don't know why they drowned it out with other music instruments. It should have been more prominent.
Thanks a lot for your talking sbout the history part. Lots of bangladeshi people know very little about the "tebhaga" movement. You put a light on it beautifully. I'm mesmerized by watching your knowledge about these topics. This made me qurious to know more about you. Itt would be lovely if you talk about you in one of your video. Where are you from, whats your background etc.
I must appreciate MR. Hammad's pronunciation. He pronounce Bangla words almost correctly, especially the names. kudos.
couldn't stop laughing at 4:10 🤣🤣. sorry
The love you two have shown to our culture is amazing. We love you guys.
Thank you for being honest with history. Love from Bangladesh
Respect & love for both of you to understand us .
Hammad and Haris - Guys great job yet again. It’s unfortunate that they created issues with having the video. You have both done such a great job of promoting bangla music that this is not what I would expect the copyright owners to do.
Regardless, as I said, great job yet again. You are completely right that this track is just more about the lyrics and context and history. Personally I always like it when things are modernized but I guess this not one of those tracks.
The history and context you bring into your discussions takes your commentary to another level. I think we all recognize that this takes effort so thank you for doing that. Also, you set the bar so high that when we (or at least I) check out any other reaction and there is no thought or effort or research I’m just like wtf, why even bother. Look forward to the top 5 from you.
Last night when I have watched the song, after that I was waiting for watching your reactions. In the early morning I have suffering from fever, still I woke up and listened the song with you. And your reactions made me happy. Thanks a lot for the great discussion with the history. Yes, for us Bangla language and our culture is very important and it's our pride also. Tevaga revolution is a very part of our history. But in 1952 Language movement is the most important historical movement for us. We called it 'Shok theke Shakti'. Means language movement was a very tragic incident for every Bangladeshi people but they made the sadness to their power, towards the independence.
It's really good to hear from you in this regards. The emotions you have shown really nice.
Thanks....
Take care
Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️
What a brillant you are!
You are really focus the deep on song that interact me🥰🥰
People of Bengal region has suffered unbelievable level of injustice since British stepped in, till Pakistan left. The worst thing that happened to us, was on 14 December 1971, when our brightest minds were murdered by Pakistani army, so that we remain crippled forever. 900+ of them were University professors. Imagine how many scholars, these teachers could produce. Even if I try to forgive Pakistan, this one incidence stops me. It shaped our future.
We lost the people who could guide us during resurrection from ashes. We could have developed much faster, our society would be free of violence and extremism. I can't wish well for Pakistan when it never apologises for its past actions.
Trueee! The genocide may have killed 3 million, but 14th of December has done the most damage. I remember reading about the guy who first designed the prototype of the Bengali keyboard... turns out he was killed in 14th of December in 1971. Just think of the people we lost, think of the kickstart we would have had if we had our best and brightest leading us.
@@rowen5435 This is an unprecedented act of vindictiveness. At least I never came across any other example of this targeted planned murder of intellectuals in human history. There are more brutal genocide, but that is indiscriminate. They just engage in mindless killing. Nowhere else the oppressor wanted to ensure that the future of a nation gets jeopardised. So it is only befitting punishment of fate that Pakistan itself is destabilised, the way its army envisioned our future.
The oral folk rythm you are talking about is itself used in a sub-genre of bangla folk dance called 'Raybeshe'...it originates from a form of fighting with bamboos
First of all you guys are really good people. Thank you. Then...
I want to emphasize the following part:
Actually the line "Ora Amar mukher vasha kaira nite chai" - that reminds us the memory of 21st February of 1952. The Pakistan government wanted us to speak in Urdu. That time many writers protest that by their writings.
The writer wanted to say:
Out father grandfather are taking in Bangla then how would we talk in other language!
We don't want to speak in other language.
Take love from Bangladesh (Chittagong)!
❤️❤️❤️
Love from Bangladesh
thanks guys. you put the historical perspectives to the right places
Fusion of two timeline, fusion of two revolution........ Tevaga revolution and language movement.......
You’ll be loved 🥰
guys! u got featured into coke studios new video! glad to see your screenshot there!❣️❣️❣️❣️
thank you for this beautiful review!!! you are the best youtube music reviewers that i have ever seen!
However, one singer Sheikh Istiaq is still missing. Istiaq was in the first pre-season track "The Journey Begins." So, I'm hoping that there is one more to go. I hope I assumed right.
By the way, a new track of Nadia Dora came out at IPDC. I thought you should know 😀
Hey, long time 😄, i hope you are doing well! ❤️
@@LetsTalkAboutIt-Reactions I'm with you guys all along.
A tribute to the undying spirit and the rebeling nature of the ' Bengali Community' , this song come as a majestic fusion of 1946's Tebhaga ( three quarter) movement inspired 'Hey Samhalo' and 1952's
language movement inspired 'Ora amar mukher bhasa' (They want to snatch my mother tounge)
Actually it’s not our "Rebelling nature", to be more precise, it’s our Indomitable Nature 😊
"Bangali nation" you mean :)
@@omarsabih yes
For bangladeshis , it's not a song but our emotion 💖
It feels like I'm hanging out with you two ❤
Amazing reactions!! Thank you! :)
Thanks guys for your good reaction
Hey samalho was composed by Maestro salil Choudhury, (a genius composure India has seen) as a part of IPTA on Tevaga movement.. both songs are brilliant and the merging and arrangement are brilliant..
I. Appreciate the honesty and broadness of accepting the history. Modern young Pakistani people are better educated
Lyrics is quite important
Your knowledge of history is correct ...
In 1948, the Government of Pakistan declared Urdu to be the sole national language of Pakistan, even though Bengali or Bangla was spoken by the majority of people combining East Pakistan and West Pakistan. The East Pakistan people protested, since the majority of the population was from East Pakistan and their mother language was Bangla. They demanded Bangla to be at least one of the national languages, in addition to Urdu. The demand was raised first by Dhirendranath Datta from East Pakistan on 23 February 1948, in the constituent Assembly of Pakistan.
To demolish the protest, the government of Pakistan outlawed public meeting and rallies. The students of the University of Dhaka, with the support of the general public, arranged massive rallies and meetings. On 21 February 1952, police opened fire on rallies. Abdus Salam, Abul Barkat, Rafiq Uddin Ahmed, Abdul Jabbar and Shafiur Rahman died, with hundreds of others injured. This was a rare incident in history, where people sacrificed their lives for their mother tongue.
So beautiful
💐💐🇧🇩🇧🇩💐💐👌👌👌💖💖💖
Keep reacting on Bangla songs and movies n serials... I am with you guys as long as it's bengali stuff 😅
❤️❤️❤️
We are indigenous people .Give back our identity, our rights. We want constitutional tribal recognition without being aggressive like Pakistan government.
This type of music, first popularized by the leftist movements, became a genre of itself and was called "gonoshongeet" -- "people's song". These songs gave us hope and strength through the Pakistan period and later in our fight for democracy in the 80s.
Check out this one from a Mukti Bahini camp. Arnob's father, Swapan Chowdhury, was part of this traveling band (young lad, white scarf, moustache): ua-cam.com/video/9lx4it5pNEs/v-deo.html&t

21st February is the international mother language day....
Do you know what happen in 1952?

Lyrics
This one was a bit difficult for you to react i guess. 😄
These are gonosongeet... Usually fast paced songs sung by chorus... Instruments are less important, even not required
Also, we have songs where the percussions are at the front and center along with the lyrics, like "Chol, Chol, Chol" and many more. But we are not Gorillas. Not everything is about chest thumping all the time to portray passion or such. The lyrics in these songs are enough to give us 1000 volt shocks; to stir up our senses as a nation, regardless of the instruments. One has to be born into the culture to wholly comprehend.
On the same note, in international affairs terminology, partition is not the same as liberation. The Indian subcontinent was liberated from the British Raj, but Pakistan (both parts) was born out of partition from India ( not liberation). And finally, Bangladesh again was LIBERATED from Pakistan in 1971. Why are these concepts termed this way, what's the difference? You got Google to educate you if you really want to. But I have a good sense that you will continue to make the same mistake.
Mr. Kagojpati, you're being obnoxious. Knock it off.
I don't particularly feel the need to defend their honor. But you're making us all look like assholes along with you. You're not doing our culture any favors.
only Bengalis are the indigenous of bengal. The rest are small ethnic groups, most of them were expelled by the Myanmar king and took refuge in Bengal. They are called indigenous only by the international media because they want to see a rebel group in a geographically important region like Chittagong.
some of my fellow bengali call them indigenous ,cause they are unwary of the fact or they have no idea what they are talking about.
Kind of true. Some are indigenous, many are not. Notice how that's why they used the word "Nṛigoşhṫhi" and not "Adibashi". And regarding the Rebel groups... if we want the moral high ground with them we cannot ignore the landgrab we did it the 70s and 80s.
Do u have anything on this claim? Really interested to know
I as a Bengali, find it really aweful when we oppress others the same way Pakistan oppressed us. Shame on us. Here, we are celebrating our language and history by denying others' history. Our ancestors never lived in chittagong hill tracts. We Bengalis have always been people of plain. Paharis are indigenous to their land. Even if the govt doesnot give them indigenous status for purpose of controlling separatism, we as individuals have no right to unnecessarily hurt others
not true. Bengalis are not the indigenous of Chittagong Hill Tracts or Garo Hill Area. Also Santhals and many other austroasiatic people group have been living in Bangladesh before Bengalis.
It doesn't matter too. You are acting like Pakistanis during the East Pakistan period.
Lastly, one thing I found amusing about your Q & A video, is how you said you are not a nationalist. You questioned the purpose of it, etc. I see! Then would you care to answer Haris, why did you not mention which part of India your ancestors are from, rather emphasize on you being a 3rd generation Karachiite? You know what that sense of belonging to a particular region is called? LOL. It is one thing to declare something and it's another to understand what it is you just declared. If you are still going to insist on not being nationalists, then try ending your videos by saying "Joy Bangla" or " Jay Hind".It should not be an issue because after all, Bangladesh, as you claim, is a region you would love to see flourish and sustain. On the other hand, both Pakistan and Bangladesh emerged from the Indian subcontinent. So, if you are not the one for borders and see no sense in nationalism, prove it in one of your videos. If something within stops you, then half of it is nationalism, half of it is the fear of offending your own people. LOL. It is easy to portray one's self as highly evolved, it is a completely different thing to actually BE it.
Nationalism in fact can be dangerous. Patriotism and Nationalism are different. Rabindranath in one of his essays wrote "I'll never allow nationalism triumph over Humanity as long as I'm alive".
Rabindranath wrote many patriotic songs, "Amar Shonar Bangla", our national anthem, "Aji Bangladesher Hridoy Hote", "O Amar Desher Mati" and many for Bengal and his Bengali song "Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata" is India's national anthem. But humanity was always above anything else.
One thing is being protective of own culture and loving it and another is boasting about it at a cost of humanity, peace or love.
As Lalon said, "মানুষ ভজলে সোনার মানুষ হবি/Manush Bhojle Shonar Manush Hobi", To be human, you have to worship Humanity.
@@aharnishchowdhury3474 With all due respect to you, I understand what you said, and I don't disagree with the gist of it. I just hate false pretense that, again, I felt from those statements. It's not important that you or someone else felt the same as I did. Since they are talking about individual perspectives, I mentioned mine. And since they are the ones who decided to launch this channel, they should be able to handle comments that are not sugarcoated for their platter, even if it's a wrong reading of what they wanted to imply. Cheers.
@Amar Kagojpati you're just being wilfully obtuse. When most people say that they're not very nationalistic, they don't mean they don't believe in the idea of nation states. They usually mean that their nationality is not the central part of their identity, that they're willing to rise above it, unlike obnoxious people like you.
"LOL" Also, why are you pretending you have a gotcha moment here? You're talking like a sleazy lawyer trying to smear your opponent.
Not many BENGALIS in even the greater Bengal today know much or anything about the Tebhaga Movement. You yourself mentioned how this is suppressed; so you could not have known it beforehand either. You googled the information before shooting the video and some probably could even tell when you ran your eyes over the info in front of you. You could have simply admitted that you just got to learn this as there is no harm in it, instead of pretending that you were recollecting history from the top of your heads. And talking about being honest, you said so much about the why and the how of the former, why not one word about how the Pakistani government used to do the same thing as the British Raj, which was to take our resources and send it over to the west? You mentioned Churchill, why not your own leaders? You only admitted that it was unjust, but did not go into how the movement developed and most importantly, the bloodshed we endured. *Slow claps for your level of integrity".
Lmao why are you so triggered? he literally pre apologized for mistakes and also acknowledged everything that you mentioned. stop being a baby and go ruin the vibe elsewhere. these two are the last pakistanis that you should be mad at.
@@joerohan4402 YOU are nobody to dictate what I am going to watch and how I am going to feel or talk about it. So, if you need to lick their a$$ to feel just as highly evolved as them, you are free to do that. Don't ever mistake me for a pushover.
Why would they talk about "their own rulers" when talking about tebhaga? The Bengal famine took place in 1943. Pakistan wasn't created yet. They were talking specifically about the tebhaga movement.
It's like going to a cancer conference and yelling "why aren't you'll talking about AIDS? Isn't AIDS important?"
Of course, it's fucking important. But it is NOT the thing that's being discussed here.
@@doyalgorubaba6727 Aww, are you still trying? That's cute. If you were not in such a rush to play the Fu¢k-ing savior, you would have noticed that this video was a mashup of TWO songs and they too broke down their reaction accordingly. First they reacted to the song on Tebhaga, and then moved onto reacting to the one from '52.
Why would they need to talk about their own rulers while they had mentioned Churchill? Because there is a little thing called INTEGRITY. Tebhaga is not a common topic, '52 comparatively is. They may not know many details, but they could have mentioned at least one key player, again, like Churchill. If anything, they were the ones who were playing it safe and being sleazy when it came down to them.
@@amarkagojpati1825 Mr. Kagojpati, They've never once tried to defend anything Pakistan did at that time. They've made it abundantly clear they're against it. You're being unnecessarily antagonistic.
It's not my goal to "clear their name". Anybody with common sense can see what's happening for themselves. I'm only leaving these comments to hopefully show that not all of us are like you. I feel like I've done that.
So I probably won't leave anymore comments unless I'm feeling self-destructive and find no better way to piss away my time.
Oh my my!! Look who brighten up my morning! Haris.🤍🤍🤍🤍😍
