Guest article by Subodh AgrawalPilu is one of the most popular Ragas in Hindi film music. Naturally, many songs based on Pilu have appeared on So. Y, and some interesting discussion has taken place about KL Saigal being mesmerised by SD Burmans Ami chhinu eka, and speculating which of his song it was similar to. Now, our expert Subodh writes a formal article on the Raga, in which he discusses the best film songs based on this Raga and some fine classical pieces. It comes after a long wait, which I can ascribe to Writers Block. Let us hope that 2. AKI have been rather lazy about writing this article. The list of songs was ready months back, but I just couldnt get down to writing. What spurred me into action is the realization that it is nearly a year since the last article of this series. My apologies to AK and to the amiable readers of So. Y whose comments are something I always treasure. As I begin this article my mind goes back to Anuradha Warriers beautiful article on Rain Songs on her blog. Let me quote The rains are here And with it comes the smell of freshly dampened earth. Puthu mannu we call it, a smell that cannot be described it has to be experienced. It is the smell that assails your senses when the parched earth eagerly drinks in the first drops of the first monsoons The smell of freshly dampened earth mitti ki sondhi khushbu, as we say in Hindi has long been a metaphor for folk art and music. If there is one raga from the North Indian repertoire that is inseparably linked in my mind to this earthy smell, it is Pilu. There are other ragas with strong folk roots this series has already covered Pahadi, Desh and Tilak Kamod but for me Pilu is the one that truly captures the mood evoked by this earthy smell, possibly because it is the raga of the Gangetic plain, where the summers are long and severe, and the rain when it comes comes in torrents. I will stick my neck out in writing this article. Despite the title of expert in classical music conferred on me, I am quite aware of the limits of my knowledge. Marathi Natya Sangeet Vasantrao Deshpande WikiI generally dont include a song in my list unless I have independent confirmation of the raga from a reliable source usually www. However, in my list for Pilu I am including some songs for which I dont have such confirmation. I could be wrong as I have been in case of Mohe panghat pe nandlal chhed gayo ri which is Gara, not Pilu. I will be very happy to be corrected by knowledgeable readers if I make any mistake. Pilu is used extensively in folk songs of UP and Bihar. Many of the traditional wedding songs of this region are based on Pilu. Let me present, as a prelude to the list, a fragment from the film Sara Akash 1. I could locate. This very tune was later developed into a full song for the film Dushmani 1. Now for the list 1. Pinjre de vich qaid jawani by Baby Noorjehan from Gul Bakavli 1. M8EZESnas/0.jpg' alt='Marathi Natya Sangeet Vasantrao Deshpande Anuradha' title='Marathi Natya Sangeet Vasantrao Deshpande Anuradha' />Ghulam Haider. Noorjehan was only 1. I came across this gem on Richard Ss blog Dances on the Footpath. Thank you Richard. Prabhuji tum raakho laaj hamari by Kanan Devi from Hospital 1. Pt Madhur, music Kamal Dasgupta. This song is a pleasant discovery while researching this article. I had heard many other songs by the great Kanan Devi, but not this one. So I got my reward even before I wrote the articleRi gori, Kahe guman kare by KL Saigal from Tansen 1. Pt. Indra, music Khemchand Prakash. This song by the incomparable Saigal Khemchand Prakash duo stays very true to Pilu as heard from regular classical singers. Saigals songs are usually the oldest in lists that figure on So. Y. Pilus timeless appeal has ensured that he makes an appearance at number 3. Paa lagoon kar jori re by Lata Mangeshkar from Aap ki Seva Mein 1. Datta Davjekar. There have been claims that this is the oldest film recording of Lata Mangeshkar. There was a discussion on So. Y which belied this claim. This song has a mix of many ragas, but the part Shyam mose na khelo hori distinctly evokes Pilu. Dheere se aa ja ri ankhiyan mein by Lata Mangeshkar solo and Lata and Chitalkar duet from Albela 1. Rajendra Krishna, music C Ramachandra. There are two excellent loris in Pilu, both duets this one and Chandan ka Palna, resham ki dori. I had a tough time deciding between the two, but then I opted for this one because of the comparative rarity of the Chitalkar version. The movement at the end of the line aa ja ri aaja is something extremely difficult to manage even for an accomplished singer the way the second aa ja trails off in Latas voice. One little doubt what kind of person sings a lori while driving AK may also note that this is one song in which the female version trumps the male one in terms of recall Main soya ankhiyan meeche by Rafi and Asha Bhosle from Phagun 1. Qamar Jalalabadi, music OP Nayyar. Madhubala is the queen of romance and there is no dearth of songs in which her presence lights up the screen with her own mix of mischief, innocence and sensuality. If I were to pick two songs that best represent her in a leisurely romantic mood, I would always pick this one and Beimaan tore nainawa which is also set in a folk based raga Pahadi. The setting of the two songs is very similar, with a haystack providing the backdrop. I had first seen this video clip on Doordarshan in the days before the internet, and it stayed with me on the strength of that one viewing. Thanks to the internet we can see it any time now. Tere pyar ka aasra chahta hoon by Mahendra Kapoor and Lata Mangeshkar from Dhool ka Phool 1. Sahir Ludhiyanvi, music N Dutta. Pilu is at its playful best in this nok jhonk song. Rajendra Kumar and Mala Sinha, neither of them among my favourite actors, have done an excellent job on screen. The lyrics of this song a part of them at least have a special place in my life. Hasino se ahad e wafa chahte ho, bade nasamajh ho ye kya chahte ho has been my mool mantra in dealing with hasinas through my life, along with another equally important couplet Hasino se to bas sahab salaamat door ki achchhi, na inki dosti achchhi na inki dushmani achchhi. I have followed this mantra quite faithfully the sole exception being the lady who deigned to marry me. Dheere se gagri utaar by Lata Mangeshkar from Zindagi aur Hum 1. Shiv Kumar, music Roshan. This song has figured earlier on So. Y in AKs post on Lata Mangeshkar songs by Roshan. Thats where I first noticed it, and it joined the ever growing list of old gems that I discovered thanks to this blog. How can such beautiful songs be forgotten Tere bin soone nain hamare by Rafi and Lata from Meri Surat Teri Aankhen 1. Shailendra, music SD Burman. As musicals go this film was right there at the top. One would be hard put to choose the best song out of the amazing repertoire created by SDB. This duet is as good a choice as any other. It is interesting how SDB has used Rafi and Manna Dey for different songs, building on the strengths of each for the individual nuances of the particular song. It is hard to imagine Manna Dey in this song, or Rafi in Puchho na kaise. Ab ke baras bhej bhaiya ko babul by Asha Bhosle from Bandini 1. Shailendra, music SD Burman. Another great musical by SD Burman. I had initially kept this song out of my list because it had figured prominently in AKs post on Asha Bhosle songs, and generally one avoids repeating songs. But this one proved too beautiful, too evocative to leave out. Maharashtra Wikipedia. Maharashtra Marathi mharar  listen, abbr.

Ruins, monuments, tombs, forts and places of worship left by these rulers are dotted around the state. They include the world heritage sites of Ajanta caves and Ellora caves.

Marhatta later used for the Marathas is found in the Jain Maharashtri literature. The terms Maharashtra, Maharashtri, Marathi and Maratha may have derived from the same root. However, their exact etymology is uncertain. The Nashik Gazetteer states that in 2. BC Maharatta is mentioned as one of the places to which Mauryan emperor Ashoka sent an embassy, and Maharashtraka is recorded in a Chalukyan inscription of 5. CE as including three provinces and 9. But the Marathas as a people do not seem to be mentioned before the thirteenth or fourteenth century. The most widely accepted theory among the linguistic scholars is that the words Maratha and Maharashtra ultimately derived from a combination of Maha Marathi and rashtrika Marathi. Deccan region. 1. Another theory is that the term is derived from Maha great and ratha rathi chariot charioteer, which refers to a skilful northern fighting force that migrated southward into the area. An alternative theory states that the term derives from the word Maha great and Rashtra nationdominion. However, this theory is somewhat controversial among modern scholars who believe it to be the Sanskritised interpretation of later writers. In medieval times,the word Maharashtra was used by Saraswati Gangadhar,the 1. Gurucharitra in coining the phrase,Maharashtra dharma. Two centuries later,Sant Ramdas,the contemporary of Chhatrapati Shivaji and spiritual advisor,called on Shivajis successor, Sambhaji to uphold Maharashtra dharma like his illustrious father1.

The Rashtrakuta dynasty ruled Maharashtra from the 8th to the 1. The Arab traveller Sulaiman described the ruler of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty Amoghavarsha as one of the 4 great kings of the world. Shilahara Dynasty began as vassals of the Rashtrakuta dynasty which ruled the Deccan plateau between the 8th and 1. From the early 1. Deccan Plateau, which includes a significant part of Maharashtra, was dominated by the Western Chalukya Empire and the Chola dynasty. Several battles were fought between the Western Chalukya Empire and the Chola dynasty in the Deccan Plateau during the reigns of Raja Raja Chola I, Rajendra Chola I, Jayasimha II, Someshvara I and Vikramaditya VI. In the early 1. 4th century, the Yadava dynasty, which ruled most of present day Maharashtra, was overthrown by the Delhi Sultanate ruler Ala ud din Khalji.
