I am a woman - the embodiment of Aadi Shakti. I am a mother, a daughter, a sister and a daughter-in-law. I am no less than a man today. I am a Doctor, an Engineer, a Lawyer, a Teacher, a Pilot – I am there in every walk of life.
Still, in this society I am bound in golden fetters. I can neither speak freely nor live freely. I am a victim of inhuman tyranny. I am subjected to the oppressions of Rape, Molestation, Dowry and Foetal Killing.
I wish to complain about my sufferings to the Mother Ganga. Why doesn’t Mother Ganga assimilate me with herself to save me from this persecution. Mother Ganga! Help me by giving a way to live. Unbound me from the despotic mindset of this society.
This song Ganga Bahti Hai Kyun has been written and sung by Dr Bhupen Hazarika – the music doyen born in the land of Brahmaputra.
The students of Cantonment Board School, Dehu Road will present a dance, capturing the soul of the poignancy of this song of Dr Bhupen Hazarika.
