For kind attention of twitter peoples,
Real Traditionalists are people like @/vvaayu , @/bhAratenduH , @/shri_v , @/GhorAngirasa, @/Gopalee67
Please judge Hindu Traditionalists after following them. Don't be misguided by larpers.

This is simply not correct. Different सम्प्रदाय-s have different conceptions & by brushing them aside as foolish, you are implying the sacred texts & आचार्य-s of those systems as foolish. Belief that the 3 are equal is 1 of many possible beliefs; not a cornerstone of हिंदुधर्म.

Notwithstanding that this account is historically unsustainable & while there are genuine examples of Teachers who may believe in the unity of deities, there are other hoary Teachers who have taught hierarchies, with their own nuances & subtleties.+
Neither side needs to impose its system or beliefs on the other. Simple as that.

Surya Deo is there... who had found identity of some of these early singers...think Virtual Academy ... Archives...with people like you should collaborate ... and all other who have gathered information... into this Discography..
Don’t know why... but they don’t have the records... years of recordings by eminent artistes are also not there...
https://twitter.com/odiamelody/status/1231590967167397889?s=19
Of the recording of earlier era... HMV only brought out two CDs...of Banikantha..only 40 songs...and that too recorded from discs...they don’t have the master discs..and the companies as Megaphone, Senola, Hindustan, Shahensha Records, Kohinoor, Taj Records etc..are also there...
https://twitter.com/odiamelody/status/1231596543624536064?s=19
That was a satire on Round Table Conference... but quite interestingly HMV allowed it... though owned by British... usually they never allowed such recordings... many such are recorded under Swadeshi label of Megaphone ... under the guise of Comic Song...

Yes... that reminds me of the song from Kismet (1942)... Dur Hato Ae Duniyawalon Hindustan Hamara Hai by Kavi Pradeep... it was approved under the guise of supporting British for World War ... against the Nazi power...!

I suspect they never really understood the content of Odia songs. Moreover, Gauranga Chandra Das tuned these songs all to Odissi classical tunes, which only adds to the comic effect (is it a disguise?). For example, this tune is lifted from here : https://t.co/MIELPEPu4G

Yes. I hope a book is created someday. I also really think Akashvani Odia should create a dedicated program to educate Odia people about these early artists and play the records over radio. That would be really impactful.
For everyone's awareness, a few more songs of Banikantha's gramophone records seem to have been restored and put online. Around 6-7. They seem to be working to digitise them. Here https://t.co/Bv62W3Jwfv

The Man who Shot Liberty Valance has to be among the greatest of Westerns

Illustrates the painful process of westward expansion taking a small town as a microcosm
It is both tragic and comic
And features two legends of the West - Stewart and Wayne

Ford made this film in 1962. That is 2 years after Psycho. 2 years after Breathless.
But it looks and feels like an "Old Hollywood" film.
