Binaca Geetmala and the Kishore Kumar-Indira Gandhi rift that led to his ban

Binaca Geetmala, the iconic radio show that defined Indian music for over 40 years, found itself mired in politics during the 1975 Emergency, when a Kishore Kumar-Indira Gandhi rift led to a radio ban on the voice of the King of Bollywood playback singing.

The article from India Today discusses the historical rift between legendary singer Kishore Kumar and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, which led to a ban on his songs on All India Radio (AIR) and Vividh Bharati. The conflict arose when Kishore Kumar refused to perform at a political rally for the Congress party in 1976 during the Emergency period, citing his apolitical stance. This refusal resulted in a ban on his songs, which was a significant blow to his career at the time. However, the ban was lifted after the Emergency ended in 1977. The article also touches upon the popularity of "Binaca Geetmala," a radio show that played hit Bollywood songs, and how Kishore Kumar's absence from the airwaves was felt by his fans. Despite the ban, Kishore Kumar's legacy continued to thrive, and his music remains beloved even today.
