[mukto-mona] Would you like to hear Raja Ram Mohan Roy's composed Bangla song?

Dear M-M forum members and visitors:

 

When Katrina hit Southeast Louisiana in August 2005, I lost almost every household things.  Among few things that I could save was a CD in which I had some old old music from Bengal.  The CD contained music from bygone days including compositions of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, DL Roy, and few other oldtimer including RN Tagore.  I thought it would be wonderful to share Raja Ram Mohan Roy's composed song with you.  This great soul wrote the song entitled - "Living in one's own land or abroad, no difference". 

 

I was intrigued by the lyric. He was certainly a forerunner on globalization even though the term was not invented then.  The song was probably written around 1830 when colonislism was the buzzword of the day.  You do not have to know the words of the song, which is set to the tune of Raga Bagesri - a well known Raga of South Asia.  The link is - http://mukto-mona.com/banga_blog/?p=347
