New Delhi: Veteran folk singer and Padma Bhushan awardee Sharda Sinha, who was battling cancer and admitted to AIIMS, died on November 5 at the age of 72, a month after celebrating her birthday.It is not possible to imagine any festival of Bihar and Mithila region without the folk songs of the famous folk singer Sharda Sinha with the strong and earthy notes of ‘Bihar Kokila’, ‘Mithila Ki Begum Akhtar’ and many similar names. Not there. It would not be an exaggeration if Sharda Sinha is given the credit for spreading the songs of Chhath, the festival of folk faith, to the entire world. It would be an irony that the voice of this folk singer, who took Chhath songs to every home, became silent on the Chhath festival itself. Sharda Sinha died on Tuesday night at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi. She was 72 years old.
