Think about Kishore Kumar and the inbuilt sound system in our mind comes to life! For some it plays very high energy numbers, for others it's 'romance' or even his breathtakingly brillant serious numbers. And, it's not just a phenomenon restricted to pre - millennials! Kishore Kumar is one of the few artists (perhaps the only one), who has transitioned well into the 21st century. Variety, artistry, youthfulness - name it and the epithet connects. He would have been well past his nineties now, but so blessed was his voice that it would not be surprising at all if he was still yodeling in the background for todays youngsters. Off course, he still does, through the innumerable remixes and recreated songs of his 

There is a Kishore Kumar song for every mood. If you are upbeat and joyful, the musical genius can keep you company with "Chala Jata Hun Kissi Ke Dhun Mein" or "Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana". If you are feeling the blues, seek refuge in "Yeh Jeevan Hai" or you could further sink into melancholy with "Dukhi Mann Mere". Those in love, can revel in "Aap Ki Aankhon Mein", and the heartbroken can find solace in "Tum Bin Jaaon Kahaan". This unique versatility has earned Kishore Kumar legions of fans spanning across generations. An actor, director, composer and above all a singer par excellence, it’s difficult to find an artiste with such a wide range of skills.

Today Kishore Kumar is one artist who is being loved, remembered, cultured and his artistry is being preserved. Sadly, it's not by the government but billions of his admirers. If one person from Indian music industry truly deserves a recognition Kishore Kumar should be the one name. Sadly, till date, our governments have ignored this versatile genius. Through this petition, we, the admirers of Kishore Da, are striving to make the Indian government notice and recognize Kishore Kumar - "The man with God gifted voice".
