Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Bard of Brahmaputra.
Dr. Bhupen Hazarika is famously known as the "Bard of the Brahmaputra" (or Luit Konwar in Assamese). This title reflects his profound emotional and artistic connection to the Brahmaputra River, which he frequently used as a metaphor for the life, struggles, and culture of the people of Assam.
As a legendary musician, filmmaker, and poet, Hazarika’s work transcended linguistic barriers, blending Assamese folklore with messages of universal brotherhood. His iconic song "Ganga Behti Ho Kyun" (originally "Bistirno Parore") remains a testament to his ability to use riverine geography to address socio-political themes and humanism.
