“It would have been lovely for him to be here,” says Rizwan Rafi, the first grandson of Mohammad Rafi, his eyes brimming with emotion. On 31st July 1980, the skies opened up. It rained as if the heavens themselves mourned the voice of a nation. Rafi Sahab—India’s golden voice—was gone. Little Rizwan, just a boy then, was nearly lost in the sea of thousands who came, drenched but undeterred, to say goodbye. This special High Five segment from India: A Story in the Making is a heartfelt remembrance—of a man who sang of love, life, and longing… and of India, a country he adored, offering some of its most stirring patriotic songs: 🎵 "Kar Chale Hum Fida" – Haqeeqat 🎵 "Bharat Ka Rehne Waala Hoon" – Purab Aur Paschim 🎵 "Vatan Ki Raah Mein" – Shaheed 🎵 "Apni Azadi Ko Hum" – Leader A tribute to a humble soul—and a quiet reflection on the nation he so deeply loved. 📺 Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/vKG5bkCtYT4?si=nTFdZPca_QYPR0fk FOR MORE SUCH STIRRING CONVERSATION – Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@loveenatandonproductions   PODCAST SMART LINK https://bingepods.com/podcast/podcast-rn7moe   Rizwan and his wife Sabakat, who live in London and run East London Kitchens https://www.eastlondon.kitchen/contact ).   Loveena Tandon: HOST: SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLES   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/loveenatandon/   Twitter/X https://twitter.com/loveenatandon   Instagram   https://www.instagram.com/tandonloveena/?igsh=MW5tOHdlc3cyMGJrOA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr   https://www.instagram.com/indiastoryabroad/   Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@loveenatandon Learn more about your ad choices.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
