Assam Pushes for Bhupen Hazarika’s Song as ‘Anthem of Humanity’

Assam's literary and cultural organizations have praised Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma for his proposal to request the United Nations to recognize Dr. Bhupen Hazarika's song 'Manuhe Manuhor Babe' as the anthem of humanity. The organizations have welcomed the move, highlighting the global impact of Dr. Hazarika's creations.

The Chief Minister has proposed for Bihu committees to dedicate one evening to Dr. Bhupen Hazarika's songs, further honouring the late musician's legacy. This initiative has been lauded by various cultural organizations and music lovers, although no fixed dates have been set for formal implementation.

The organizations have also reiterated their demand to name a train after Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, suggesting the name 'Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Express'. They have urged the state government to secure this recognition, even suggesting a mass signature campaign if necessary.

Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma's proposals to honour Dr. Bhupen Hazarika have been well-received by Assam's literary and cultural organizations. They hope that these initiatives will bring further recognition to the late musician's global impact and bring pride to Assam and the SC community.
