The author writes “I request all the Rafians to report similar activities from their towns or cities so that we are benefitted with this kind of information and the Rafi Foundation should chronicle them for the forthcoming issues of their magazine.”

Here is an event that was arranged in Karachi, Pakistan for legendary Rafi Sahab. Hope you enjoy!!!

I had a dream yesterday that I visited rafi saab in his home (he was practising
in the early morning) and was telling to me that he wants to expand his home
since he cannot accommodate all his fans in his home.

when mohammed rafi saab died on 31st july1980,a malayalam daily,mathrubhoomi (published from kerala) they have given a very small
report about his death even without his photo.the next day they recognized
who is rafi saab and put on the front page of the daily talat mehmood saab
kissing the dead body of rafi saab.this mathrubhoomi is issueing their own calender also which is very popular in kerala and they are putting 31st july
as the death anniversary of rafi saab! the interesting thing is the calender did
not have the date of death anniversaries of great malayalm actors.from this
it is clear that rafi saab is a house hold name in kerala from where a great singer like yesudasji hails.

Dear Sanjaya Srivastavaji, what you have said is absolutely right - gandharva of the modern era. and I envy you for having seen rafi sahab perform live and that too in the durbar hall of rashtrapati bhawan singing that lovely patriotic song - apne sabhi sukh ek hain, apne sabhi gam ek hai, awaaz do hum ek hain - you are really lucky to have listened to rafi sahab live and that too performing such a forceful and meaningful patriotic song.

Lord Krishna said in Gita that I am Gandharva in singers. Likewise in Kalyug Lord Krishna was Rafi Sahab among singers! Living in millions and millions of heart till last day of the World!!! I have seen him in childhood days first, when he was performing in Durbar Hall of Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi. The song was “Awaz do hum eik hai….!” Since than, I am his worshipper as a singer and as a nice person of great personality. - Sanjaya Srivastava, IPS, Commandant, 28 Bn. PAC, Etawah, U.P.

Wasn’t Rafi Sahab nominated for the Bharat Rana this year? Does anybody know the outcome? Rafi was should have been given this long ago!! Not only he excelled in the Art of his profession but excelled as a humanitarian, therefore what more proof does one need for Rafi to deserve this award !!!!!!!!!

Is the Mohammed Rafi Award out there?? I remember Asha Boshle mentioning there should be one on a Radio tribute programme in the UK in 1985.

There should be Video Biography on Rafi Sahab, including interviews from personalities from the industry past & present. What a seller that would be!!
