The great personality of Mohammad Rafi is above Bollywood and also above Dada Saheb Phalake Award. The voice of Mohammad Rafi is A School of Acting. Dilip Kumar became tragedy king and super star only due to the voice of Mohammad Rafi. Without Mohammad Rafi, Dilip Kumar was/is nothing.
There is a reference to it in book itself The title The Longest August by Dilip Hiro metaphorically captures the enduring and unresolved conflict between India and Pakistan, which originated in August 1947 with the Partition. This month marked the creation of two nations but also unleashed a history of violence, division, and mistrust. The “longest” signifies the prolonged and ongoing nature of these issues that remain far from resolution. The book does not explicitly quote the title in a specific phrase but uses the theme throughout to illustrate how the Partition, which began as a single historical moment in August 1947, has stretched into decades of conflict, particularly over Kashmir. Hiro reflects on how the events of that month have cast a long shadow over the subcontinent’s politics, society, and relations. Another book Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire by Alex von Tunzelmann centers on the complex political, cultural, and personal dynamics that led to the Partition of British India in 1947, creating the nations of India and Pakistan. The book weaves a vivid tapestry of themes such as power, love, betrayal, and the consequences of colonialism, focusing on the lives and relationships of key figures during this transformative period. Key Themes: 1. End of Empire and Decolonization The book examines the decline of the British Empire and the challenges faced by the British in relinquishing control of India. It explores the political maneuvering and the hurried nature of the Partition process. 2. Personalities and Their Influence Central to the narrative are the personal relationships and decisions of figures like Lord Mountbatten, his wife Edwina Mountbatten, and Indian leaders such as Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi. The book portrays how these individuals’ interactions, ambitions, and emotions shaped the course of history. 3. Love and Scandal The rumored romantic relationship between Edwina Mountbatten and Jawaharlal Nehru is a recurring motif. The book suggests how personal bonds may have influenced political decisions. 4. Trauma of Partition The story highlights the human cost of Partition, with millions displaced and hundreds of thousands killed in communal violence. It delves into the chaos and suffering that accompanied the drawing of borders. 5. Cultural and Historical Transformation The book explores the cultural shifts and the historical weight of a moment that redefined the Indian subcontinent, setting the stage for future conflicts, especially over Kashmir. Indian Summer provides a nuanced view of a pivotal moment in history, balancing the grandeur of historical events with intimate personal stories to highlight the interconnectedness of the political and the human. Couldn’t understand what is absurd in it?
