Poetic Obituaries: Born in 1936 in Sivasagar district,

Barthakur was among the acclaimed poet-lyricists of the State. He penned such immortal numbers as Sonar kharu nalage mok biyar babe aai and Aita tumi jerengar--both sung by the great singer Dipali Barthakur, who is his sister. Barthakur, in fact, is remembered most for the enduring combination that he had formed with Dipali Barthakur. His niece Sangeeta Barthakur also lent her voice to a number of his evergreen compositions.
