Dohar [contd]

Moymonsingha Geetika:

Dohar sang a part of it where Noder Chand [son of the Zamindar] got the chance of meeting Mohua ,the gypsy girl in the water banks where she goes to fill water.
.......Noder Chand says Jal bharo Sundari Koinya jaley dish ne dheu........amar sathey kaona katha amar nai keu......
water bank is famous for such sweet talks but Mohua says Noder Chand should die by drowning himself.........Then he says ....Tumi hao gaheen gang ...ami duibya mori.....
Moymonsingha Geetika is a great work but alas written by a mere folk writer so it has not been given much importance by the so called literary world.If we could give some love and recognition to our folk singers and song writers.........I wonder.

Dhamayil:

Dhamayil is mostly sung by the womenfolk of the village.Mostly they sing Krishna Dhamayil where the love between Krishna and Radha is described.
The song which Dohar sang for us has an interesting background.......year 1921 mahatma Gandhi
