Namaste,

Please start @28:20:

At 30:35, I think it should sound more like parisrava, not parishrava, as it's a regular ShaDja sound (i.e. the ShaDja svara isn't changing the pronunciation), whereas they're pronouncing it as a tAlavyAkShara. I'm not sure though; I would need to go (re)check the rules for UShman sounds

Chhoti si umar by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, title song to the movie Bandit Queen (1994) directed by Shekhar Kapur.

It means "girlchild marriage".

This song is the version from the movie and was the title song to the film on the bandit Phoolan Devi. In fact, however, it is based on and from a much older Rajastani folk song.

The first version is with words. There is alsp a version with no words but only a wake.

I am not taking sides regarding Phoolan Devi. But the song is quite remarkable. Enjoy. Above is a photo of Phoolan in 1983 at her surrender to authorities where she laid down her rifle to the local murti of Durga.

Next is a photo of her later, with the personal friend and associate of her's, 1992 author Roy Moxham. I have a copy of his book in my library ("Outlaw").

The movie tells the story Phoolan Devi who was a dacoit and killed several village leaders who were involved in her rape, and she was for a time one of two leaders of a notorious militarized bandit gang, sent to prison in 1983 and freed in 1994, she was turned into a legend by the Indian press. Though she was "larger than life" in the imaginations and mind of the public, she was a very small women. After prison, she entered into the politics and was assassinated in 2001.
