News at Eleven: It would call for a major research effort

to collect, process and present the profiles and the poetic words of those who sang of freedom and revolution in 22 scripts and 81 spoken languages and dialects of the country. Many of them were folk bards and wandering minstrels who walked from village to village and street to street to spread the tales of heroes and martyrs. But there are known names and songs of freedom which can be remembered as some of the landmarks in the poets' contribution to freedom struggle.
