The riots that took place in Kolkata from May 2 to May 18 in 1926, Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam wrote this song under the titled ‘Kandari Hunshiar’ as his protest and warning. It found place in his ‘Sorbohara’ poetry book. Even after all these years, many chose the song as the

made great music.”

creation of the song was on my mind. As well as how millions

rescue them, these have provided the inspiration to make this song. Everyone including Pantha Kanai has performed amazingly.”
