Bhupen Hazarika is associated with which Indian state?

• A. Punjab
• B. West Bengal
• C. Odisha
• D. Assam

Answer: (D)

Bhupen Hazarika is a towering figure in Assam’s musical and cultural landscape. Known as the Bard of Assam, his songs and films fronted and shaped Assamese language, identity, and social themes, making his work deeply rooted in Assam’s traditions. While his talent crossed borders and he did work in multiple languages, the heart of his contributions—the songs that reverberate with Assam’s people and culture—come from Assam. That strong, lifelong connection to Assam’s art and heritage is what ties him most closely to that state, more than to Punjab, West Bengal, or Odisha.
