Aziz Bhai ( Late Manohar Prothi) had no enemies, perhaps no friends either but admirers he had, here, there & wherever he reached through the strong signals of Radio Kashmir. He left us at 81, on 13th April, 2017.
When I was baptised as a broadcaster and I landed in the Duty Room of Radio Kashmir. A tall, slim, affable person was introduced to me as ‘Aziz Bhai‘. Awe struck, I stood up and shook hand. I had been hearing him from my school days in Radio Dramas produced by the iconic Pran Kishore, Vadi ki Awaz for listeners across LoC, Fauji BhayiyoN ke liye, to name few.
I spent a little over three years in Srinagar and all through that brief period I saw him reaching the outer gate at 8 am, if not early, and leaving the studios at the closure of the transmission.
Paradoxical but true, he usually used to be hungry, perhaps he needed a bottle more than a bread box.
He was always seen with a voice recorder tucked between his (left) hind-arm and the ribs connecting back & the sternum. He preferred condensed ‘mike’ as against the lead microphone which in that era was known to catch sound effects with astounding naturalness.
He, for his captivating audio quality, exemplary artistic modulation and maddening zeal for broadcast had immense fan-following, but as I said, fans necessarily are not friends.
He was wedded to broadcasting and he bequathes us professional ethics of high order for which he lived at the cost of his family interests.
God bless his soul…
Fayyaz Sheheryar, Director General, All India Radio
I often recall those programs of my childhood with great nostalgia. Manohar Prothi was a household name in Kashmir . May he rest in peace !

He was an icon in broadcasting had he stepped out of Kashmir, he I am sure would have attained much greater heights and we today would have taken his name in the same breath as Ameen Sayani…

What a rich and beautiful voice- quality he possessed, sugar and chocolate blended with morning mist, it would dilute the senses. I was an ardent fan of that voice, the one and only voice of Radio Kashmir that neither time, nor any injurious substance could damage.
A great man and artist par excellence. I remember those mid seventies when he was the incharge of drama section of radio kashmir jammu and how he use to encourage and teach us the nitty gritties of urdu drama and acting.

It is sad Manohar ji is no more. I vividly remember the fateful day, Republic Day 1995 parade at MA Stadium Jammu along with Manohar ji were making running commentary when ghastlly bomb blasts disturbed the proceedings. Manohar ji joined me consoling the participating children and moved them away from ground and stayed with me for quite long time in the ground till the same was taken over by security agencies. His agility, fearlessness was marvellous. Prothi ji was a nice man. Whenever, he came to Radio Jammu studios, he did see me and appreciated my productions. Salutes to him.
We must have many of his recordings in our archives.

He was indeed a legendary broadcaster & an artist par excellence.He always treated me as his son .

May his soul rest in peace

Today, the world has lost Aziz Bhai. What a personality. Voice of Radio Kashmir lost
Saddened to read this. Another Aawaz from Wadi ki Aawaz gone.
I had a mulaqaat (meeting) on daily bases with this golden voice at Radio kashmir Srinagar when I was on the penal of freelance writers for the radio during eighth decade of privious century.
His heart too was sweet like his voice.
May his soul rest in the highest realms of peace and tranquility and give you patience to endure the pain of separation.
A legend is gone from this mortal world! But he has left his voice for us, generation to follow to listen, to cherish and to learn. Aziz Bhai character in Wadi ki Aawaz and several of his famous dramas on All India Radio will keep memories of Mr Manohar Prothi alive for ever.

Nice tribute laced with memories! Knew him though not that well. He had an impressive personality – his voice added to that – but never intimidating.
Absolutely true. Unequivocally and unambiguously, late Manoharji was an ace broadcaster. I too feel privileged in saying that I had the first glimpse of him in the Duty Room of RKS. There was compatibility between Manoharji and broadcasting.

An achiever in life.
Manohar ji was a chain smoker. I always found him buying cigarettes from a small shop near Radio Kashmir. My maternal uncle was working with him and he often used to talk about him at home. See how gracefully he is smoking in this picture.
