It's good that leaders across parties are paying respects, but sometimes these condolences feel like a formality. I wish our politicians would also work to preserve and promote our cultural heritage with the same energy.

I'm an NRI, and Asha Bhosle's songs were my strongest connection to India while growing up abroad. Her voice transcended borders. A monumental loss for global music.

The versatility was unreal! She could sing a classical-based song, a cabaret number, and a romantic duet with equal mastery. We will never see another artist like her. A golden era of playback singing truly ends today.
