The renowned playback singer Lata Mangeshkar has become a nonagenarian recently. The nightingale’s 90th birth anniversary went off as a simple ceremony with a large number of people from various walks of life wishing her a happy and prosperous life. The topmost caller was none other than our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who spoke to her and complimented her for her stupendous achievements and wished her a long and healthy life in advance as he was proceeding to the airport to board a flight to the U.S. for a meeting with the American president Donald Trump. Lata reciprocated his gesture heartily and also said that she finds some spark and ability in Modi that she could not trace with other Prime Ministers. Fair enough, as both are entitled to their views. Interestingly, Lata’s mother was a Gujarati and Modi, being a Gujarati by birth, must have been doubly delighted that she is also the daughter of his state’s soil.
The critics, however, look at the Prime Minister’s volley of appreciation for Lata as a gimmick, since the assembly election for Maharashtra is round-the-corner. It is one way of appeasing the sentiments of the local people and their pride for the Marathi language, as the well-known singer is the prized-possession of the State. Moreover, the immortal singer is revered all over India, if not in the entire world.
