Timeline
Hemanga Biswas (14 December 1912 – 22 November 1987) was an Indian singer, composer, author and political activist, known for his literature in Bengali and Assamese, advocacy of peoples music, drawing from genres of folk music, including Bhatiali originally popular among the fishermen of Bengal.
Biswas was born in Habiganj, Sylhet, British India (now in Bangladesh) on 14 December 1912 to Harakumar and Sarojini Biswas.
He went to the Middle English School in Habiganj.
He studied at the George Institution of Dibrugarh from 1925 to 1927 when Nilmoni Phukan was its headmaster.
There he became interested in Assamese culture.
He attended Habiganj Government High School in 1930.
He also studied in MC College, Sylhet from 1930–1931.
Biswas embraced the values of communism during his college years and wrote poems and plays on equal rights.
During this time he started performing "gana sangeet."
He did not complete his formal education.
Biswas became involved in a movement to ensure the rights of tea garden laborers, farmers, and the underprivileged throughout the region.
For his political convictions, he was arrested in 1930.
He was also associated with the Indian People's Theatre Association.
He married Ranu Dutta, a high school teacher, in 1959.
Their son, Moinak Biswas (professor of Film Studies at Jadavpur University & filmmaker), was born in 1960 and their daughter, Rongili Biswas (a writer & professor of Economics) was born in 1967.
Hemanga Biswas was responsible for a number of popular Bengali songs.
A fierce debate once ensued between Salil Choudhury and him on the method of translating the ideal of people's art:
Through his music, he had hoped to motivate the masses to fight for their rights, for them to be united, and for them to be vocal against any form of corruption.
His beliefs in equal rights for all led him to repeatedly try to request and urge the then Congress Government headed by Siddhartha Shankar Roy to extend a helping hand to the labour class people.
Banchbo Re Banchbo Amra was composed to motivate the laborers to improve their standard of living.
His translation of The Internationale into Bengali and his singing of such songs as Amra Karbo Joy, Ajadi Hoyni Tor, and Negro Bhai Amar aided the Bengali leftist movement.
He was influenced by Bhawaiya and Bhatiali, and generated his own style, which combined those folk traditions with Sylhet culture's, which he called Bahirana.
Hemanga Biswas was the playback singer in Meghe Dhaka Tara (The Cloud Capped Star) (1960), Lalon Fakir (Deha Tari Dilam Chhariyo), Utpal Datta's Kallol, and Komal Gandhar.
He formed Mass Singers (a group for mass songs) in or around 1978.
