Composition, collection, and releases

Sarkar composed the first song of Prabhat Samgiita, Bandhu he niye calo, on 14 September 1982[1] at Deoghar, India.[2] He continued composing songs until his death on 21 October 1990.[3] During that eight years, he composed a total of 5,018 songs,[4] including both lyrics and tune.[5][6][7] The last song, Ámrá gaŕe nova gurukul, was composed on 20 October 1990, one day before his death.[8] Renaissance Artists and Writers Association (RAWA), has sponsored many performances and recordings of selected songs. These performances have featured artists such as Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande, Rashid Khan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Manoj Kumar, Vithal Rao, Shruti Sadolikar, Haimanti Sukla and Archana Udupa.

Sarkar composed songs in eight different languages: Bengali, Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Urdu, Magahi, Maithili and Angika.[9] Sarkar held that songs should be performed in their original language to preserve the composer's rhythm, melody, and meaning. Hence, no permission was given by Sarkar for performance of his songs in any language other than the language in which he composed them.
