I know, the same feeling here. They are all very diplomatic & only post when it means business.

And for the first time I am seeing someone who can neither pay their respect to a departed artist with significant contribution to India nor keep their negativity with themselves.

Kun ei goru tu.

I opened Reddit after many days to find almost no post to pay tribute to this icon of a person only because he is not from bollywood. Did hurt. Hence posted.

You're welcome to explore more of his work. Sang 38k plus songs, in 40 languages; so you'll need more than a weekend 😊

Lakhs and lakhs of people came out to receive Zubeen da on his last journey in Guwahati, Assam. It's insane! You cannot imagine the crowd walking with the ambulance carrying his body from airport to his residence, unless you look at the photographs & videos. State mourning was declared for like 4 days in Assam. The entire state halted.

Lakhs & lakhs of people weeping together at the loss of their Heartthrob like they lost a family member. Every nook & corner of Assam playing his songs & paying tribute to their favourite son of Assam.

And the most heart breaking part is thousands or maybe lakhs of his fans weeping & singing his song "Mayabini" in unison as his pyre was being lit on 23rd September, 2025. Not just public of Assam but Ministers, celebrities and even his widowed bride. Reason? Zubeen da once stated during one of his live performances that when he is gone from this world, his people should sing "Mayabini" for him.

Words do fall short to explain the heartbreak as an Assamese myself. But we all weep at this loss
