Since, Nepal government has decided not to celebrate the Prithivi Jayanti on Poush 27th, this year, it has affected to music as well! Bidhan Shrestha, who has made his own identity in the Nepali musical field, has become the greatest victim of this decision. No doubt, he is always popular for his different,yet outstanding numbers like “Buhari Jhaar” and “Kalapani”. Politically Bidhan is not much of a believer; neither does he belongs to any political group, but since he has brought a song in the market some three years back, “Ekata Nai Bal Ho”, the song has a line in it that says, “ Haamra Bada Prithvi Ba le Bhaneka….. Ekata Nai Bal Ho” has been banned in media. After the decision was made “not to celebrate Prithvi Jayanti”, amazingly the song was stopped being on aired from any radio or television medium. It is not the first time; these things have happened in the Nepali media politics. Another song of his, “kalapani” was also banned through Channel Nepal without any reason.
