YAADEIN YAAD TRIBUTE - SOUTH ASIAN HERITAGE ANCESTRY
Welcome to the site of South Asian Heritage Foundation, a non-profit corporation formed to give spirit to the South Asian Heritage Act, 2001 in the Ontario Legislature. It is the goal of the South Asian Heritage Foundation to promote the month of May as South Asian Heritage Month and May 5th as South Asian Arrival Day, pursuant to the Bill 98. The foundation also supports other South Asian initiatives to celebrate our rich heritage. Over the past six years we have worked towards this goal and our website and calendar of events will provide a small glimpse into the work of the Foundation over the past 6 years. South Asian Heritage Month is an opportunity for us as South Asians from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Fiji, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and many other countries to come together and share our common heritage and culture that binds us as a people. Our theme for South Asian Heritage Month is Acknowledge, Educate, and Celebrate. We believe that it is most important that children of South Asian ancestry see themselves reflected in the fabric of our schools, our province and our country. To achieve this, we will focus our energies towards education within schools, within the South Asian community and with our friends and neighbours. During South Asian Heritage Month, the Foundation will distribute posters to schools, public offices, the YMCA and to others who wish to join in acknowledging the South Asian Heritage Month. Should you wish to receive a poster (s), please contact our office at the telephone number listed below. Thank you for visiting our site. Your comments and feedback will be very important as we work towards improving the site by making it a portal for information and resources pertaining to South Asian Canadians. Please take the opportunity to celebrate South Asian Heritage Month with your family, friends and neighbours. source |

A tribute to our Ancestors...who read, wrote & spoke this Language from Bharat Mata
 जब जब बहार आये और फूल मुस्कराये मुझे तुम याद आये, जब जब भी चांद निकला और तारे जगमगाये मुझे तुम याद आये. अपना कोई तराना मैंने नहीं बनाया, तुमने मेरे लबों पे हर एक सुर सजाया जब जब मेरे तराने दुनियाने गुनगुनाए मुझे तुम याद आये. एक प्यार और वफ़ा कि तस्वीर मानता हूँ, तस्वीर क्या तुम्हे मैं तकदीर मानता हूँ, देखी नज़र ने खुशियाँ, या देखे गम के साये मुझे तुम याद आये मुमकिन है जिंदगानी कर जाये बेवफाई लेकिन यह प्यार वह है जिसमें नहीं जुदाई, इस प्यार के फ़साने जब जब जुबान पे आये मुझे तुम याद आये *** Jab jab bahar aaye aur phool muskaraye mujhe tum yaad aaye, jab jab bhi chand nikla aur tare jagmagaaye mujhe tum yaad aaye. Apna koi tarana maine nahin banaaya, tumne mere labon pe har ek sur sajayaa jab jab mere taraane duniyane gungunaaye mujhe tum yaad aaye. Ek pyar aur wafa ki tasveer maanta hoon, tasveer kya tumhe main taqdeer manta hoon, dekhi nazar ne khushiyaan, ya dekhe gam ke saaye mujhe tum yaad aaye Mumkin hai zindagaani kar jaaye bewafaai lekin yeh pyar woh hai jismein nahin judaai, is pyar ke fasaane jab jab zuban pe aaye mujhe tum yaad aaye *** |

Upperstall Review - Chori Chori
The key character in this battle of the sexes would be the heiress. She was often dizzy, saucy, flighty who fled from homes, jilted bridegroom at the altar and generally carried on with total disregard for the existence of breadlines and unemployment. Thus she was used humorously in such films as an object of contempt and ridicule. Of course by the end of the film not only does the hero snag the heiress but through him she is also humanized to see normal life and normal people quite unlike herself. And when she has to escape with the hero when her father's detectives land up there is by behaving normal, as the normal wife of the normal hero. And during the film the hero takes on the weight of becoming the very image of the people revealing them in the process of revealing himself to the haughty, upper class heroine. Chori Chori is a typical example of what constitutes a road film. While a popular genre in Hollywood, India has never really embraced this format and the efforts have been few - Bombay to Goa (1972) or Dil Hai ki Maanta Nahin (1992) which incidentally was also a remake of It Happened One Night. Perhaps this is so because the road is an enduring theme in American culture. The road movie I in this regard like the musical or the Western, a Hollywood genre that catches peculiarly American dreams, tensions and anxieties. Nargis is a revelation in the film as the dizzy heiress. She proves she can play screwball comedy as effectively as she could her intense dramatic roles. It is a fine perfomance with her sense of comic timing spot on. See her as the puppet in the Jahaan Main Jaati Hoon song. It is Nargis's sense of razor sharp timing that offsets her inability to dance and it is a sequence she carries off marvelously well. Raj Kapoor of course had born comic talent. He is absolutely perfect in the role of the impoverished journalist Sagar. Chori Chori marks yet another feather in Raj Kapoor's illustrious acting career. Pran does his familiar bad man turn with relative ease. They are more than strongly supported by the comic element of the film - Gope, Johnny Walker and Bhagwan. source |

Upperstall Review - Musicians & Singers
Chori Chori represents some of the finest work of Shankar - Jaikishen in their entire career. The evergreen musical score with lyrics by Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri ensured Shankar-Jaikishen their first ever Filmfare Award for Best Music. The film has brilliant songs with each song better than the other. First and foremost are the two all time great Lata Mangeshkar - Manna Dey romantic duets Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi and Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein Hum. With Mukesh trying his hand to be an actor this was the phase when Manna Dey briefly sang as the voice of Raj Kapoor in films like Shree 420 and Chori Chori. As one hears Manna Dey one cannot but think sadly that the film industry never really gave this great singer his due. He was always regarded a poor second to Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore, Talat or Hemant Kumar which is a pity because Manna Dey was such a fine singer with an extremely strong classical base himself. Lata Mangeshkar of course leaves her stamp on the film with perhaps her greatest sad song ever - Rasik Balma. It is perhaps technically the best composition of the film and the emotion and pathos with which Lata renders this song is unbelievable. Only such a gifted singer could give such expression to words like Lata could. On the other side Lata is equally at home in the bubbly Panchhi Banoon Udke Chaloon Door Gagan Mein and the boat song Us Paar Sajan. The film having a strong line up of comedians is echoed in its music with All Line Clear and Sawa Lakh ki Lottery. The film also sees an early duet by the Mangeshkar sisters - Lata and Asha - the wedding song Man Bhavan ka Ghar. Other songs include the Lata - Manna Dey duet Jahaan Main Jaati Hoon picturised extremely innovatively with Raj Kapoor and Nargis as puppets and the M.L. Vasantakumari solo Tillana Chori Chori proved extremely popular at the box office. With the film however, a glorious era of romance came to an end in Indian Cinema. Sadly the film sees the last teaming of two legends who were soon to go their respective ways - Nargis and Raj Kapoor. Chori Chori sees them paired romantically for the last time though Nargis did appear at end of Jagte Raho (1956) singing Jaago Mohan Pyaare Jaago more as a final tribute to signify her collaboration with RK films. Nargis moved on to Mother India and settles down to a life of domesticity with Sunil Dutt while Raj Kapoor continued to act and make films with the likes of Padmini and Vyjayantimala. source |

A salute to Mother India and Poetic Justice
1957 must have been a fantastic year for Hindi cinema. Guru Dutt's Pyaasa (reviewed here) was released that year. So was the film that is the subject of this post. Saw Mother India again recently. Starring Nargis, Raaj Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Rajendra Kumar, and an excellent supporting cast, directed by Mehboob Khan, and with music by Naushad. Set in rural India, Mother India was about a struggling family in an agrarian society and its resolute leader who fearlessly and tirelessly exemplified the upholding of values despite struggle after testing struggle. Here are some more highlights: |

 1. The film began with villagers insisting the 'mother' of the village, a feeble Radha (Nargis), inaugurate a canal. During the inauguration, we were taken to a flashback that lasted the duration of the film, which meant that through it all, we knew Radha would survive. |

 11. One of the highlights of this segment of the film was the song Matwaala Jiya (Lata & M. Rafi). Beautifully choreographed, in an excellent setting, and with an extended introduction to Mukri, who I think belongs in the same league of great comedians as Johnny Walker. |
