"I'd sit alone and watch your light My only friend through teenage nights And everything I had to know I heard it on my radio" (Radio Ga Ga: Roger Taylor, Queen, 1984) We couldn't agree more. Radio was our friend. It united us. It forged our national identity. And it brought the world to our homes. It is often said politics, films and cricket are what bind India. Radio made that cohesion possible. In today's episode we talk about Radio and its profound impact on our society. The iconic mournful signature tune and its history; the sabha on the eve of our independence, the legends who spoke on the airwaves, the stories of our victories in hockey and cricket and the songs and programmes that caught our imagination – we pay our homage to them. Because Radio built the new India. In spotlight we feature arguably the most versatile music composer of Indian cinema. A scholar of music who was versed with it grammar and experimented with its form in some of the landmark films, TV series and jingles of 70s and 80s. A genius who blended western classical aesthetic into Indian compositions. We end the show with our weekly reading, watching, and listening recommendations.
