How the late Zubeen Garg embodied cultural affinities between Assam and Bangladesh
The death of renowned Assamese singer Zubeen Garg on September 19 in Singapore has rekindled reflection on the enduring cultural bonds between the Indian state of Assam and Bangladesh.
Garg, aged 52, died from drowning while swimming at Lazarus Island without a life jacket.
While initial reports speculated about scuba diving, a post-mortem conducted in Singapore confirmed drowning as the official cause of death.
He was transported to Singapore General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead in the ICU at approximately 3 pm BST.
A voice beyond borders
Though widely recognized for his contributions to Assamese and Bollywood music, Garg also left a lasting imprint on Bangladeshi audiences through his Bengali songs.
Tracks such as Aaina Mon Vanga, Mon Mane Na, Piya Re Piya Re, and Mayabini are celebrated on both sides of the border for their lyrical emotion and melodic sophistication.
His music often blurred linguistic and cultural lines, resonating with listeners in both Assam and Bangladesh and emphasizing their shared heritage.
Garg often spoke of his multicultural roots. In an interview with TV9 Bangla, he remarked: “I say I am half Bengali. From childhood, I grew up with Bengali and Assamese together.”
His understanding of identity as layered rather than rigid reflects a broader cultural sentiment - similar to the views of Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani, who in the 1970s asserted a pan-regional sense of belonging: “Assam is mine, West Bengal is mine, Tripura is also mine…” (Weekly Haq Katha, February 25, 1972).
These expressions champion a vision of cultural unity that transcends political boundaries.
Historical and linguistic linkages
The Barak Valley region of Assam, comprising Silchar, Hailakandi, and Karimganj, is predominantly Bengali-speaking and has historical ties to linguistic activism.
In 1961, when Assamese was proposed as the sole official language, widespread protests in the Barak Valley led to the deaths of 11 demonstrators at Silchar Railway Station.
This event is commemorated annually as Bhasha Shahid Divas (Language Martyrs’ Day), and it eventually led to Bengali being granted official status in the region.
Moreover, the dialect spoken in Barak Valley closely aligns with Sylheti, a language widely used in Bangladesh’s Sylhet region.
These linguistic overlaps reflect the deep-rooted cultural affinities between the two areas.
Several reports state that Zubeen Garg spent a part of his childhood in Karimganj (officially Sribhumi) and maintained ties there.
People in Silchar within Barak Valley recall his early days, school friends and teachers in Karimganj.
He completed his Higher Secondary education at Karimganj College.
Local news also mentions that his father (pen name Kapil Thakur) stayed in a government magistrate’s quarter in the Settlement area of Hatment Road, Karimganj, where Zubeen’s family lived during some of his early years.
Bangladesh itself is linguistically diverse. For instance, the Chatgaiya dialect spoken in Chattogram differs significantly from standard Bengali in both vocabulary and pronunciation.
Such internal linguistic variation underscores the multifaceted nature of cultural identity, even within a single nation.
Grief and recognition in Bangladesh
The reaction from Bangladesh to Zubeen Garg’s death has been heartfelt and multifaceted.
Bangladesh’s Assistant High Commissioner, Z. Hasan Fahad, acknowledged Garg’s cross-border appeal, stating: “His music transcended borders and touched countless hearts, including in Bangladesh, where his soulful voice and Bangla compositions were warmly cherished.”
Also, he emphasized that Garg’s artistic legacy would endure across generations.
Fans in Bangladesh responded with deep sorrow, sharing his music on social media, reminiscing about his influence and expressing collective grief.
Many Bangladeshi commentators recognized Garg’s passing as not just a loss for Assam or India, but for a broader community connected through language, art, and shared cultural identity.
Md Mokbul Hasan, a Bangladeshi fan, wrote on the Memorial Tribute by Eskay Movies’ YouTube channel: “My heart is bleeding. We will miss you forever.”
Sara Begum commented: “Huge respect for you from Bangladesh. You brought life to our childhood.”
Another fan, AS Mahid, wrote: “Why did you have to leave so early? It should have been me instead of you.”
Garg’s personal identification as part Bengali and part Assamese mirrors the lived experiences of many across South Asia whose identities straddle artificial borders.
His Bengali songs evoke deep emotional responses in regions like Barak Valley and Sylhet, where language and identity have long been subjects of both pride and struggle.
Undoubtedly, he has a special place in the hearts of Bengali talking people, all over the world.
Garg’s ability to bridge dialects, cultures, and regions through his music serves as a reminder that diversity—within and across borders—can be a unifying force rather than a dividing one.

Tanushree Dutta says no to Bigg Boss, cites privacy concerns
Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta, who made headlines two months ago with an emotional video alleging harassment at her home, has revealed that she turned down an offer worth Rs 1.65 crore to participate in the reality show Bigg Boss.
Speaking to Bollywood Thikana, the Chocolate actress said she has been approached for the show every year for the past 11 years but has never been interested. “Do you really think I would go to a show like that? I can’t stay in a place like that; I don’t even stay with my own family. They offered me ₹1.65 crore. Even if they give me a piece of the moon, I wouldn’t go,” she said.
Tanushree stressed that her decision was rooted in maintaining dignity and privacy. “Men and women sleep in the same hall, fight there, eat there. Do I seem like the kind of woman who will sleep on the same bed with a man for a reality show? I’m not that cheap. My privacy is valuable to me. I know I can earn more than that if I’m allowed to work in peace,” she added.
The actress, who won the title of Femina Miss India Universe in 2004 and is known for films such as Aashiq Banaya Apne, Dhol and Bhagam Bhag, also recalled her struggles since the #MeToo movement in 2018, when she accused actor Nana Patekar of harassment during the filming of Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss. Although police cleared Patekar of the charges in 2019, Tanushree has repeatedly said she has faced continuous harassment since then, which she claimed has affected her health.
The 19th season of Bigg Boss, hosted by Salman Khan, is currently streaming on Jio Hotstar and airs later on Colors TV.

BTS’ RM admits feeling jealous of great music, finds peace in art
BTS leader RM, also known as Kim Namjoon, recently opened up about his deep connection with art and the occasional jealousy he feels when listening to exceptional music by other artists. In a candid conversation shared on Samsung Newsroom’s YouTube channel, RM said he feels at peace with visual art because he doesn’t feel competitive toward it—unlike music, where he sometimes struggles to stay objective.
Recalling a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago during a tour, RM said he was captivated by works from Monet and Van Gogh, which brought him comfort. “My peace comes from knowing I’m not good at drawing,” he joked. But with music, it's different: “Sometimes when I listen to great musicians’ albums, I get really jealous,” he confessed.
All BTS members officially complete military service as Suga gets discharged
The Indigo rapper described himself as someone still learning and growing, emphasizing that his love for art grew organically over time. Though he's often praised as a curator, RM said he’s simply a passionate fan. “I didn’t major in art history… I just like it.”
RM also addressed the perception of political messaging in his Instagram posts, saying his art shares are purely personal and have no political or commercial ties. “If I like it, I share it,” he said, noting that fans have helped spotlight many underrated artists. RM concluded by expressing his dream of creating a space in Seoul that connects cultures and generations through art.
