Jagjit Singh's Jeevan Kya Hai 's lyrics is a copy of Karna Das’s Jindagi ko Ke Bharosa

By himalayanreview
It is more than strange that most of the time we hear about the music of songs being copied or rather say inspired but this song's lyrics I came across the net have a different story. Karna Das released Jindagi ko Ke Bharosa way back in 1997-97 and his song's Hindi version (i  better say ) has been sung by Jagjit Singh in Jeevan Kya Hai released in 2005. Just watch the words of the songs.....



Karna Das’s Jindagi ko Ke Bharosa





Jindagi Ko ke Bharosa
Yo Ta Sano Khelauna Ho
Dui Aankhama Ek Ma Hanso
Arko Ma Ruhai Chha

Ratri Ko Andheri Bhihani Ko Sunaulo
Yehi Nai Sansar Ko Rit Ho Sathi
Har Ek Palma Dukhai Dukha Chha
Sukha Ta Bahana Nai Ho

Aauna saans afno Nai Nimti
Jana saans Aarkai Ko Nimti

Jindagi Ko Ke Bharosa
Mritu Ko Badal Le Gherekai Chha
Dui Aankhama Ek Ma Hanso
Aarko Ma Ruhai Chha

Jagit Singh’s Jeevan Kya Hai





Jeevan kyaa hai chalataa phirataa ek khilonaa hai
do aankhon men ek se hansanaa ek se ronaa hai

jo jii chaahe vo mil jaaye kab aisaa hotaa hai
har Jeevan Jeevan jiine kaa samajhautaa hai
ab tak jo hotaa aayaa hai vo hii honaa hai

raat andherii bhor suhaanii yahii zamaanaa hai
har chaadar men dukh kaa taanaa sukha kaa baanaa hai

aatii saans ko paanaa jaatii saans ko khonaa hai

    That Album must have been released in 2005, but the ghajal is from the TVserial SAILAAB. there were some more ghajals in that serial which were very famous at that time.

    "Sailaab" is an Indian television series that was directed by Ravi Rai and was broadcast on Zee TV from 1995 to 1998.

    I think Blogger is living in his own world. "Jeevan Kya hai" is part of album "Insight". All ghazal and nazms are penned by Nida fazli. Same ghazal was used as title track for TV series Sailaab.
    Insight was released in year 1994. which has a prominent ghazal "Garaz Baras pyasi dharti ko phir pani de maula"

    Karna Das has translated Popular ghazal of that time and released. This can be confirmed by singer himself.

    Ghazal is part of Insight album, and use for title track in the serial.

    Karna Das has translated the ghazal and released in his own voice. going with theory, "if you can not create best, copy the best".

Rongli my birthplace

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN A small hamlet in an eastern side Silent raush on its way, The old silk route, More older it look Upon which I stay, Hey that’s Rongli, Rongli my birthplace Years went by, years dried up, Yet the small village is as it was, Silent, peaceful and introvert Today’s picture of Rongli, Houses as station bogie, Looks a cradle, from Chujachen, Upon which the blue sky, As if I can touch thee, Roaring River, As the legend we hear, Still watch with glee, The terror of 1890 somewhat forgotten, Yet another terrorizing moment, 68 was the year… 1968, When sky too wasn’t pleased. That was Rongli, Rongli of the past. Playing along the Baar-Pepal tree, Hiding in the Shivalaya, Watching videos and aloft Is a decent memory, now? Sweet time in treasure, Yet when I am in Rongli, I am happy, in whither sweet. Rongli my birthplace !

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

By himalayanreview
Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.” It is also said that the real battle was not between the Chogyal and Kazi Lendup Dorji but between their wives. On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...

The coinage system of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
It is more or less a forgotten part of the development process of the then-small Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim . The introduction of the coinage system in Sikkim ceased the way it started. A study of the coinage system of Sikkim sheds light on the socio-economic and political history of the then-small state. The coins of Sikkim ended the way they appeared; they came from nowhere, and finally, they got lost out in the darkness. A handful of people around Sikkim and in the districts of Darjeeling now have these rare items in their collections. The coin of Sikkim is much sought after by numismatists interested in countries that no longer exist today. Before the British invasion of the land of Sikkim, the capital revenue system was never heard. Sikkim, being an agricultural foreground, had some parts of food grains given to the king as tax. Trade was carried out where things were exchanged between individuals. This system was prevalent even in the mid-19th century; oranges were exchan...
