I got to know Bhikhari Thakur the ‘nachaniya’ (dancer) first. Those were my childhood days. It was 1954-55 or thereabouts, when his dance troupe came to Kulti, an industrial township in West Bengal, where I lived.
His popularity was at its zenith then. LP records of Thakur’s Videsiya were played at my place and my uncle had named his two sons ‘Batohi’ and ‘Videsi’. Thakur came to my town again a few years later. But by then, I had developed a typical prejudice against the adjective ‘nachaniya’ and lost interest in him. Then, in 1998, I was again drawn to him when I came in close contact with people’s movements.

The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur
2012 studio album by Kalpana Patowary
The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur is a Bhojpuri language documentary folk album by Assamese Bhojpuri singer Kalpana Patowary, originally written by Bhikhari Thakur. It was released by London-based music label EMI/Virgin records on 14 May 2012 by the Vice Prime Minister of MauritiusAnil Bachoo and Arts and Cultural Minister Mookhesswur Choonee in the Prime Minister’s office in Mauritius.[1]
The album comprises nine tracks, all of which were written by Bhikari Thakur and Kalpana Patowary using minimal acoustics. The album starts with Bhikari parichay, an autobiographical narrative rendered by Kalpana. On the track Kalyug prem, Bhikhari Thakur talks about the anguish of women whose husbands have become addicted to alcohol. The song relates, "Born into a family of barbers, he, like many of his fellow natives, moved to Calcutta for work". Although he later wrote songs questioning the redundant ways and customs of the society, Bhikhari was initially illiterate. "It was a baniya in Calcutta who taught him to read and write," Kalpana said. He then returned to his village and formed the Bhikari Thakur Natak Mandali.
