Celebrities throng Darjeeling in idol support
Darjeeling, Sept. 7: The hill town continues to draw Prashant Tamang fans from across the Nepali fraternity.

The Indian Idol contestant has made it to the last three positions in the music reality show and needs votes through SMS to maintain his position.

The local boy’s luck is tested every Friday night when the votes decide which of the participants are going to stay.

Nepali celebrities from Darjeeling, Sikkim and Nepal are therefore coming here to perform live and gather support for Prashant. The fans on the other hands are collecting money to buy recharge vouchers.

The latest in the list is Neel David, a hair stylist from Kathmandu, who organised a workshop on hair care at Gymkhana Rink Hall today to raise funds.

“The proceeds from the workshop will be given to Prashant’s family,” said David, who has been actively campaigning for Prashant in Nepal.

A large number of women waited in queue to get their hair done for prices ranging from Rs 100 to Rs 550.

“We have come here because an international hair stylist is in town and also because the proceeds are going for someone who is dear to us,” said Priya Subba, a housewife.

Even as the workshop was in progress, a team of about 30 Prashant supporters including upcoming Nepali film actress Namrata Jha and singer Prakash Poudyal organised a musical show at the venue.

The singers from Nepal, who were felicitated by Prashant’s mother Rupa Tamang, shared the dais with local singer Santosh Tamang and 12-year-old Prakriti Giri, who has been selected for another reality show.

Contributions are pouring in from across the hills to help make Prashant the next Indian Idol. Rupa was given Rs 14,000 by different groups during the day.

“Sponsors have come forward to book entire telephone booths. We will have three booths at INOX Darjeeling and people can come and vote as much as they want to,” said Tenzing Khambachay, the ward commissioner of Darjeeling.

Teachers of Suntala Parijat Memorial Junior High School in Pulbazar — 30km from here — have decided to buy recharge vouchers with money collected for Teacher’s Day. “The students had collected about Rs 3,000. We told them to use the money to vote for Prashant,” said Kailash Pandey, a teacher of the school.

Residents of the Singmari-Tukvar area in Darjeeling have collected almost Rs 3 lakh for the purpose. GNLF leader Bimal Gurung has decided to distribute vouchers worth Rs 1.5 lakh to volunteers at Singmari today. Arrangements have been made to telecast the programme on a giant screen in the open.

Members of Darjeeling Gymkhana Club will organise a contest and will give a prize to the highest voter.

An Article about Prashant and the Indian Nepalese published in the Indian National Daily 'The Stateman"


Prasant Tamang has hogged the limelight after becoming one of the top three contenders in Indian Idol ~ a musical show currently on air. So much so that the entire Nepali/Gorkhali community of India eagerly await his performance and wish him success, writes Angsumala Tamang

For India, a country with immense diversity, questions about regional bias and cultural identity have always been a pressing issue. The cultural and regional hegemony coupled with poor infrastructure, poverty, education, and lack of communication in the past have always hindered progress, especially for minority groups, indigenous tribes, and the poorer sections of the society. The story is no different for Darjeeling and its neighbouring towns. The hills of sub-Himalayan West Bengal, which has undeniably made a mark for itself with its flavourful tea and as a major tourist destination, remain a stoic spectator bearing witness to socio-cultural conflicts and regional discriminations plaguing the residents of these hill towns. The Gorkhaland Movement (1986-88), which was initiated to improve the socio-economic conditions of Nepalis/Gorkhas residing within these mountain regions of sub-Himalayan West Bengal, was the ‘first-of-its-kind’ socio-political crusade to have reverberated among the otherwise benign and laid back ambience of these ‘cozy’ hill region. It brought to the fore-front, among other concerns, serious issues regarding national identity, cultural difference, political allegiance, and the renaming of Nepali language to ‘Gorkhali’ – a terminology literally incorrect but perhaps politically reassuring and socially legitimate for precise identity issues ‘on paper.’
Identity, a hot topic of the post-modern era, is both complex and complicated. It carries with it different connotations – language, skin colour, looks, gender, religion and dichotomies such as – subjective/objective, assumed/given, deferred/repudiated, political/social, rhetorical/philosophical, male/female, to name a few. Questions concerning one’s identity demands contemplating seriously upon the ‘self’ – its life experiences, identity related behaviour, reaction towards gender constructs, and individualistic variation(s) that emerge from different socio-cultural and socio-economic roles performed within a society. Since people tend to interact in groups, it is therefore not surprising to understand that they unconsciously develop ‘distinct selves’ as per ‘distinct groups’ to make their opinions count in validating the ‘self’ as an enhancing member(s) of a dynamic society. These multifaceted ‘distinct selves’ like concentric circles layer our personalities into such a dense and nebulous matter of social behaviour that it becomes nearly impossible to extricate oneself from this collated mass in order to assert ‘identity’ on monolithic terms; let alone trying to categorise them into a structured pantheon of manicured rows and columns. With rapid globalisation, unavoidable electronic mass media intervention, and a steady process of homogenisation affecting every part of the world, discourses surrounding identity seem to have gained centre-fold among other pertaining social issues.
For many in Darjeeling and its neighbouring hill towns of Kuersong, Kalimpong, Mirik, and Sikkim, Saturday and Sunday evenings are much different than it used to be. As the entire Nepali/Gorkhali speaking community of India eagerly await for ‘Indian Idol’ to begin with abated breath, the programme has come to epitomise the fulfillment of this community’s desire to be seen, understood, and be accepted by other Indians as their fellow brethren. Hence they turn on their TV sets, not only to hear and support Prasant Tamang, a native of Darjeeling working for Calcutta Police and one of the top contenders for Indian Idol in his musical endeavor, but to experience the realisation of their struggle for an Indian identity through an Indian media in a programme ironically called the ‘Indian Idol.’ Prasant Tamang, perhaps currently ‘the’ most well-known TV personality from this region and India, for that matter, seems to have given Nepalese Indians/Gorkhas a much awaited national/international podium for voicing issues concerning their ‘Indianess’ and national allegiance that seems to have eluded them for much of the past 60 years. Dubbed as the ‘Dark Horse’ of Indian Idol by the judges of the competition, he unknowingly seems to have paved a way for a socio-political discourse that transcends beyond his musical skill, singing capacity, and issues pertaining to vocal technicalities and music training. When Prasant Tamang sings, he not only sings to impress the judges and the Indian “janta” for support but dons the garb of Nepalese Indian/Gorkha iconicity which, he carries to the centre-stage as a ‘Darjeelinge’ to represent social prejudices, identity contentions, cultural hegemony, and political strife endured or encountered by every Nepalese Indian/Gorkha in India sometime during their life.
Television, which has become the single most effective and the most widely watched media in India, has definitely helped to bring forth social issues of identity and citizenship in a big way for Nepalese Indians/Gorkhas. Although India with its open border policy has always maintained a benevolent attitude towards its diaspora communities hailing from disparate heterogeneous backgrounds, much is to be desired in spreading the true meaning of diversity. However, with television and cable network taking over the reins of every Indian household, mass media, as a blessing in disguise, has manifested itself as a primary medium for spreading India’s motto “Unity in Diversity” in a spirit of true cultural integration and authentic nationalism. It has helped broaden the horizons of its citizens in a way where one wouldn’t be considered presumptuous to infer that Indians today are more aware of their fellow-citizen’s multifarious heritage, culture, language, and ethnic background(s). As the nation’s temper rise into a fevered pitch with the finals around the corner, Prasant Tamang’s extended presence in Indian Idol, as he successfully overcomes every elimination round, nails in the fact that with each episode India and her citizens become more acquainted with the ‘north-eastern Indianess,’ an ingredient that was otherwise relegated or lesser known within the periphery of India’s vocabulary.
No one can precisely predict who will win but objectively speaking, under ideal conditions, one can only hope for the best singer/talent to win. Time alone can tell whether Prasant Tamang will win but either way one cannot deny the immense contribution of Prasant Tamang and the mass-media in spreading the message of ‘Indianess’ to India and the world in its entirety. The momentum of this now remains to be fulfilled by us as “we” the enlightened and dynamic role-playing members of society, after having become more attuned to India’s diversity both literally and practically, should take it upon ourselves to nurture and spread this new found spirit of national integration through music and media.
(Angsumala Tamang is pursuing her PhD in Ethnomusicology from University of California, Los Angeles . Her interest lies in discovering the hermeneutical meaning of music ‘as’ culture – a concentration on the music of Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim.)

'I’m happy being myself,' says Emon

"Indian Idol was more of a personal choice"


Were you always musically inclined?

Always. After learning from my aunt when I was a kid, I was put under the tutelage of Chaitali Roy Gupta. When I won an all-Bengal singing competition, I was admitted to a music school that boasts of some of the best musicians Kolkata has.

Taking part in Sony Entertainment Television’s Indian Idol was more of a personal choice. One of my friends, Akash Agarwal, stood overnight in the queue for registration forms to get me one. I’m here because of him.

You’ve always earned flak from Javed Akhtar who thinks you sing like Sonu Niggaam...

I can’t help it if a veteran like Javedsaab thinks that way. But Sonu Niggaam has himself said my voice isn’t remotely similar to his. I’m more than happy to know this.

Singing style can be emulated, but voice...

That’s exactly my point.

What about the earlier Indian Idols? Isn’t their fading into oblivion demoralising?

I really don’t know why whether something was lacking somewhere. I admire Abhijeet Sawant a lot. He’s made a brilliant comeback with his latest album. I’ve heard that even Sandeep Acharya is planning to cut an album. I won’t let Indian Idol be my stint with 15 minutes of fame. I’m dedicated and would continue to do good music.

What has been your most memorable experience in Indian Idol so far?

Sharing the stage with Sonu Niggaam. Earlier I’d dream of him. But never in my dreams had I thought that I’d someday share the stage with him!

Would you dream of Sonu Niggaam?

Yes... as in he’s around and sorts.

Do you want to be like him?

Not really. I’m happy being myself -Emon Chatterjee.

So, is Bollywood the next big stop?

I’m interested in playback. But I know that the journey is difficult.

How does it feel to see Alisha Chinai and Anu Malek fighting over you?

It feels great. Anu Malek has been a great support. Even in his criticisms, he has been friendly. Alisha Chinai is the sweetest of the lot.

The clashes between judges and the budding romance between the contestants are perceived by the mass as gimmicks...

I’ve reasons to believe that these are true. They root for certain contestants and are disheartened when the performances are not up to the mark. About Chang giving a rose to Deepali, it was a part of the choreography.

He needed to give flowers to someone as it was going with the song that he was singing. He couldn’t cross a whole lot of other people to give flowers to anyone in particular. Deepali was sitting on one side and it was easier to hand her the rose.

Who do you think is the best singer in this year’s Indian Idol.

Deepali is the best of the lot, but then she got ousted. Amit too is a great singer.

What do you feel about the voting system?

It’s been fair and unfair at the same time. Some good singers got ousted and again it’s because of the votes that I’m here today.
