Bhupen Hazarika birth centenary commemorations

Overview

India is conducting year-long celebrations to mark the birth centenary of legendary musician Dr. Bhupen Hazarika.

Initial commemorations included the release of the documentary ‘Manuhar Gaan’ (The Hum of Humanity) by filmmaker Utpal Borpujari. The film examines Hazarika’s socio-political and humanist legacy, specifically his engagement with social injustice and the struggles of the downtrodden.

As the centenary progresses, tributes have expanded to include a major national event scheduled for November 29 in New Delhi. Additionally, the Indian Music Experience Museum in Bengaluru has added one of Hazarika’s personal harmoniums to its permanent collection following a donation by his family and the Bhupen Hazarika Cultural Trust.
