M S Subbulakshmi (1916-2004) was a Carnatic singer whose appeal
spread to North India through the lustre of her soulful voice and her
felicitous choice of devotional songs in several Indian languages. In the
post-Independence confusion about faith, her voice provided a
sanctuary of sound in which many modern Indians prayed under cover
of listening to music. Doordarshan’s selection offers rare moments with
this luminous, beloved singer.
