In Uttarkhand it is a famous saying that if you want to know about Uttarakhnd, its people, society, life, culture, traditions and politics then either refer to books of scholars or listen to the songs of Nrendra Singh Negi. An institution by himself Shri Negi is amongst the most popular artists of Uttarakhand. He is not a mere entertainer but he is an artist, a singer, a composer and a poet, who is sensitive to his surroundings.
Be it the pain of a mother longing for her son, who is in the army, defending his country, a wife longing for her husband who migrated to the plains in the search of job, be it the issue of saving forests, be it the plight of the women of Uttarakhand leading a hard life in the harsh mountains, be it the issue of displacement and damage to environment due to huge dams like the Tehri dam, the problem of land and forest mafia, the high handedness of the forest dept , the problem of addiction to liquor, the threat of the man eaters or the political mayhem created in the state, all is covered by this great artist in his songs.
