Deeply saddened by the demise of legendary playback singer S. Janaki Amma Ji. An ethereal voice, Janaki Ji breathed life into songs that became timeless classics across various languages. One of our nation's most revered cultural icons, she leaves behind an irreplaceable void in the world of music. My thoughts are with the bereaved family, friends and admirers. Om Shanti
Legendary singer S. Janaki passed away today in Mysuru. She was 87.
S. Janaki has recorded over 48,000 songs in films, albums, television, and radio, which includes solos, duets, chorus and title tracks in 20 Indian languages, including Kannada, Telugu, Tamil,Malayalam, Hindi, Sanskrit, Odia, Tulu, Urdu, Punjabi, Badaga, Bengali, Konkani, as well as in foreign languages such as English, Japanese, German, and Sinhala.
She is one of the most versatile singers in India. The language in which she sang the most songs in her career was Kannada, followed by Malayalam. She is widely acclaimed as the "Queen of Expression and Modulation".
Janaki began her singing career with the Tamil film Vidhiyin Vilayattu (1957) at the age of 19 and recorded songs in six different languages in the same year. Her career spanned over six decades until 2016, when she announced her retirement from singing for films and stage appearances. However, she returned in 2018, singing for the Tamil film Pannaadi. She was active in the music industry for 60 years.
That S. Janaki was a fab singer is well known. She gave us SP Balasubramanium by spotting him in a college contest. The lady lived like a saint. She had the courage to decline the Padma Bushan because she felt she got her recognition 55 years too late. Even South Indians celebrated Asha Bhosle. It's a pity the rest of India didn't get to discover S.Janaki. The lady who recorded 48,000 songs. We'll miss you Janaki Amma. Thank you for the music.
I completely agree with Sr. Adv. Makarand D. Adkar Ji (@AdkarMakarand). We do not charge fees in Dharma-related cases, but that does not mean these matters are pro bono. Every case is handled with the same level of professionalism, preparation, and dedication. In fact, we are protecting ourselves and our society, so we certainly have a vested interest, we are motivated by our self-interest.
I also agree with Aadi Ji (@AadiAchint) that criticism is perfectly acceptable, but offensiveness cannot be permitted.
Dhruv Rathee's video has influenced and misled many young minds. Its removal would set an important precedent that videos created with the intention of misleading the public, particularly the youth, and promoting a false narrative cannot be allowed to remain on digital platforms.

“During Mulayam Singh's rule in 2003, plan was to hold roza iftar at Hanumangarhi temple steps after namaz, but the SSP refused.
Later roza iftar happened at Mahant Gyandas' house adjacent to the temple.
Mulayam Singh was ahead of everyone in appeasement politics.”
