International Women's Day (IWD) was first declared in 1910 with the first IWD event held in 1911. 2011 sees 100 years of International Women's Day having been celebrated around the world. Widespread increased activity is anticipated globally on 8 March 2011 honouring 100 years of International Women's Day.
Vision
To get the whole world behind supporting and celebrating 100 years of International Women's Day in 2011.
Why
The International Women's Day Centenary should make the women of past proud, the women of current inspired, and the women of the future envisioned. Women have made great strides in equality yet there is still a great deal to be achieved on many fronts and the 2011 IWD Centenary will provide a unique and global opportunity to reignite, inspire and channel women's equality for the future.
Ninety years ago, this day, the 8th of March, saw the birth of a certain Abdul Hayee in Ludhiana, Punjab.
It may seem like a routine event. After all, aren't people born every day?
Yes, they are. But not every one goes on in life to pull at the heart strings of millions through the sheer magic of his words and poetry.
Abdul Hayee? Nah, doesn't ring a bell, does it?
How about Sahir Ludhianvi? Sounds more familiar?
Ah, I see the eyes light up! "Sahir? You should have said that rightaway!"
(If the name isn't familiar OR the eyes don't light up, please don't go around telling people that you are an old Hindi songs buff. That would be lying!)
Ok, coming to the point, today is the 90th birth anniversary of Sahir Ludhianvi (born as Abdul Hayee), one of the greatest Indian poets of the 20th century and certainly one of the best lyricists ever of Hindi cinema.
Sahir's life is well-documented and a lot of information about him can be found on the internet. I will therefore not repeat what is already available, except to say that Sahir had a huge rebellious streak in him ' one that he was well-known for, all his life.
And, in hindsight, thank God for that!
Writers and poets often excel at romantic poetry. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, they sing couplets to each other professing undying love.
Oh, Sahir could do this too. He was brilliant at romantic poetry, make no mistake. After all, he was the one who penned "kabhi kabhi mere dil mein, khayaal aata hai", "abhi na jaao chhod kar" , "chhoo lene do naazuk honthon ko" and "paanw chhoo lene do".
But Sahir's real fiery forte was to be seen in his "angry young man" poetry. Long before Amitabh Bachchan took on this tag, there was Sahir and his anti-establishment poetry and rants.
Yes, Sahir was entirely in a class of his own when it came to expressing emotions of anger, hurt, disillusionment, frustration and all such emotions that he had personally experienced regularly throughout his life. That he chose to channelize his energy into poetry and expressed these emotions through the power of his pen is one of the greatest gifts and blessings for the Hindi and Urdu poetry lover.
It is also one of India's greatest good fortunes that Sahir fled from Lahore to India in 1949. He had been publishing several poems, right from his college days, in magazines but his writings were often inflammatory, anti-establishment and somewhat communist in nature. As a result, he had to flee Lahore and ended up in Delhi. Later he made his way to Bombay and started writing songs for Hindi films.
If I start talking about, or even listing, Sahir's great songs, I will be talking all day and still be nowhere close to the end. For he has written so many wonderful songs that they are best left uncatalogued and just enjoyed. Just listen to a great song with wonderful lyrics, check out the lyricist ' there's a good chance it will be Sahir. Especially if it is a song about wrong-doing in society.
Yes, Sahir had a strong sense of disillusionment with society of his time and he lost no opportunity to express his opinion. Film-makers who understood Sahir's nature and his fiery pen made the most of this skill of his.
Thus Sahir produced some of the best lyrics ever in Hindi cinema for Guru Dutt in Pyaasa. And, for BR Chopra, a like-minded director and also a person who wanted to show society a mirror, Sahir produced (for the BR Chopra/Yash Chopra combine) lyrics for films like Naya Daur, Sadhna, Dhool Ka Phool, Dharam Putra, Gumraah, Waqt, Humraaz, Daag, Kabhi Kabhi, Trishul, Kaala Patthar and many more.
On this occasion of his birth anniversary, I was therefore totally spoilt for choice in picking one out his huge guldasta (bouquet) of gems.
Brilliant! So I decided to pick, what I consider to be THE defining song that celebrates both Sahir's birth anniversary AND Women's Day.
This is a song that is extremely close to my ( and Shrel's !) heart. It has tremendous depth in it, it is one of the most hard-hitting songs ever in Hindi cinema, comparable only with Sahir's own "ye mehlon ye takhton".
Everytime I listen to Lata Mangeshkar's voice singing this song, my eyes go moist ' because, unfortunately, 53 years after this song was written, every word in it is still the bitter truth. Even today, inspite of tremendous economic progress in the country, women in India still, by and large, live in an unequal society, dominated and abused by men. And this, though they are the mothers, theirs are the hands that rock the cradle in which these very men have grown up.
Yes, you guessed right - I am talking about "aurat ne janam diya mardon ko" from Sadhna (1958).
Even by his own very high standards, I consider this one of Sahir's very best. This is vintage Sahir, showing society a mirror about itself, its hypocrisy, its double standards.
On this joint Sahir-Woman's Day occasion, I cannot think of a better song to put up on this blog.
I usually request my readers to enjoy the songs I post here. This time I would request them not so much to enjoy this song, but to reflect on its lyrics and to see what each one of us can do to change the situation. Like they say "if you want change, BE the change agent".
THAT would be the most fitting tribute to Sahir saab on his anniversary and on this Woman's Day.
Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
mardon ne usey baazaar diya
jab jee chaaha masla kuchla
jab jee chaaha dhutkaar diya
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
tultee hai kaheen deenaaron mein
bikti hai kaheen baazaaron mein
nangee nachwaayee jaati hai
aiyaashon ke darbaaron mein
ye wo be-izzat cheez hai jo
bant jaati hai izzatdaaron mein
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
mardon ke liye har zulm rawaan
aurat ke liye ronaa bhi khataa
mardon ke liye laakhon sejein
aurat ke liye bas ek chitaa
mardon ke liye har aish ka haq
aurat ke liye jeena bhi sazaa
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
jin honthon ne inko pyaar kiya
un honthon ka vyopaar kiya
jis kokh mein inka jism dhalaa
us kokh ka kaarobaar kiya
jis tan se ugey konpal ban kar
us tan ko jaleelo khaar kiya
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
mardon ne banaayeen jo rasmein
unko haq ka farmaan kahaa
aurat ke zinda jalne ko
qurbaani aur balidaan kahaa
kismat ke badley roti di
aur usko bhi ehsaan kahaa
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
sansaar ki har ek besharmi
gurbat ki god mein palti hai
chaklon hi mein aakar rukti hai
phaakon se jo raah nikalti hai
mardon ki hawas hai jo aksar
aurat ke paap mein dhalti hai
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
aurat sansaar ki kismat hai
phir bhi taqdeer ki heti hai
awtaar payambar janti hai
phir bhi shaitaan ki beti hai
ye wo badkismat maa hai jo
beton ki sej pe leti hai
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
mardon ne usey baazaar diya
jab jee chaaha masla kuchla
jab jee chaaha dhutkaar diya
aurat ne janam diya mardon ko
