drol 11,886 Posted November 9 I don't think it's true. The few articles reporting it are being withdrawn and he is such a huge name his death should be all over Indian news. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,886 Posted November 9 I don't believe it until I see Times of India, Hindustan Times, Indian Express or other reputable sources. This guy was like Bob Dylan in India, how come he is not getting obits hours after his alleged death? And no available obits have a date of death, which is a red flag by itself.

I actually went through that list not long ago, checking who's alive and who's not and Bhardwaj caught my attention as someone who already looked pretty frail a decade ago (along with C. S. Radhadevi, Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman and P. R. Thilagam, the last who I consider a potential off-radar death as she was already quite frail in 2007 when she received Padma Shri and I can't find anything on her since) Purna Das Baul is probably the most prominent and interesting one there (inspired Dylan and Mick Jagger, performed with Tina Turner, Joan Baez, Paul Robeson and Gordon Lightfoot, smoked weed with Charles Lloyd and members of The Band, performed in 168 countries) but seems that he's still performing, so might still live many more years.
