Rathindranath Roy : Most Prominent Folk Singer

Rathindranath Roy was one of most prominent performers of the Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra. Recalling his early singing career, Roy mentioned inspirational songs such as “Purbo digantey shurjo uthechhey” and “Nongor tolo tolo” (composed by Samar Das), “Rokto diye naam likhechhi” (composed by Shujeo Shyam) and more.
He also sang some Rabindra Sangeet such as “O amar desher mati,” which motivated B...engalis during the Liberation War. In Roy’s view there are few parallels to these patriotic songs.
