The pain of bidding farewell to a loved one is only truly understood by those experiencing loss. A local saying once remarked, “Until death, I will create such legacies that no one else can achieve for a hundred years.” After their death, this assertion seems to have become a reality. Every word spoken by him became a profound statement, and each of his songs narrated a life story. He was Zubeen Garg.
Death comes for everyone, but how do we accept its arrival when it pertains to such an exceptional being? Zubeen Garg’s final farewell was a haunting scene for all. An unprecedented event shook the world as Assam bid adieu to more than just a singer; it seemed as if the very spirit of its people had dimmed. The state lost not just its artist, but its own identity. It felt like everyone had lost their child.
Though every street in Assam was filled with crowds, there was an eerie silence permeating through the air. Grief was written all over people’s faces, and it seemed as if a member of their own family had vanished. It was as if a bond that had held everyone together had been severed.
Zubeen’s final journey was more than just a farewell; it turned into a movement defined solely by his name. It was an outpouring of emotion where tears flowed freely. People came from all walks of life-children to the elderly, the able to the disabled-all eager to catch a final glimpse of the artist who had breathed life into their dreams.
He once proclaimed, “I have no community, I have no religion; I am free, I am Kanchenjunga.” On that day, there was no communal strife in Assam, no language barriers, and everyone forgot their religious identities. There were no distinctions made; all that mattered was, “Zubeen was ours.”
He had advised, “Let’s not involve politics, my friend.” On this final journey, even the chief minister, bearing the weight of the state on his shoulders, rendered his last tribute as merely a fan. After the loss of his own son, he acted as if he had nothing left to lose. Whether they were regional party heads or central ministers, silence prevailed.
Zubeen’s death resonated beyond Assam, causing sorrow across India and beyond. The massive turnout in Assam left one question lingering in everyone’s minds: who truly was Zubeen? How could the death of a singer overshadow that of a great leader? The answer was that Zubeen was great. Across states, people pondered who could inspire such love for a singer, and the collective response came from the citizens of Assam. Zubeen was their own; through his art, many had shared their childhood and youth. Zubeen was a melody that never allowed anyone to feel alone. Whether in joy or sorrow, he was an integral part of Assam’s essence. Zubeen was a soul who uplifted music above race, religion, and language. People were not just his fans; even the sky and air were his admirers. For that reason, it seemed even the heavens wept momentarily for him.
The people of Assam demonstrated to the world that every festival in Assam felt incomplete without Zubeen; he embodied love, affection, and the very definition of caring.
To understand Zubeen, one doesn’t need to listen to his songs-the tearful eyes of the Assamese people spoke volumes about his character. The power of a person’s greatness is often evident in their eyes. The depth of hope is reflected in the crowds, which were a testament to Zubeen’s impact on their lives.
Even children, who might not yet grasp the meaning of death, could be heard shouting, “Long live Zubeen da!” They recognized instantly that he was, indeed, extraordinary. There is no need to explain how someone could part the crowd with a simple touch of their hands to view a deceased body.
The people of Assam transformed a love song into a prayer. Next to Zubeen Garg’s mortal remains were expressions of love and affection. Though the fire of life may have dimmed, the embers of love linger on in our eyes. His death has only made him greater.
From now on, there will be no artists in Assam, no singers, and no songs. Zubeen was everything. He did not die; he has taken on a new life. Even those who never appreciated music will now turn to Zubeen’s tunes to find answers about love, affection, and the meaning of life.
There is no need for acknowledgment; nothing could surpass the love of his admirers for Zubeen Garg. For generations to come, Zubeen will live on, kept alive by the people of Assam, forever.
