Patriotism, humour, romance, satire, historical drama — the songs of Dwijendralal Ray open a vivid window into nineteenth-century Bengal. Much like the culture of the time, shaped by both Eastern and Western influences, Dwijendralal’s songs move effortlessly between emotion, wit and theatricality. From Banga Amar Janani Amar to Amra Bilatpherata K’ Bhai, from Shahjahan to Chandragupta — his songs could be stirring, playful, dramatic or deeply intimate. The friendship between Rabindranath and Dwijendralal, songs written amid personal struggle, and within theatrical songs themselves, the drama of music — Raymoshai’s work remains a distinct chapter in Bengali culture. Episode Ten of Natoker Gaan revisits the life, stories and songs of Dwijendralal Ray. A return to another Bengal — of humour, emotion and history — through song.
