Georgia was de- clared inde- pendent of Soviet Union. After 70 years of constant de- mand, the So- viet Union finally agreed to hold an independ- ence referendum, asking voters if they supported the restoration of the independence of Georgia as per the Act of Declaration of Independ- ence of Georgia of May 26, 1918. The referendum was approved with 99.5% of voters in support. Thus, Georgia declared itself as the fourth Soviet republic on this day. The Liaquat-Nehru Pact was signed be- tween the neighbour- ing countries of India and Pakistan. Both the countries recog- nised the refugees af- fected by the atrocities of the partition-led violence and crimes such as looting of land and property, abduction of women and force- ful conversion. The treaty was signed by the Prime Ministers of both the countries in New Delhi. Minority commissions were set up in both countries soon after the pact was signed, and this led to one million refugees migrating from East Pakistan to West Bengal in India. About 8000 radio stations around the world simul- casted the song ‘We Are The World’, a benefit single for the famine victims in Africa. Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and produced by Quincy Jones, the single, recorded in January 1985, was sung by about 19 renowned artists including Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richards, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. The single also bagged the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. The ‘Violin Sonata No. 27’ by the world-famous musician Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was premiered for the first time. Organised into three movements, it was the last piece he composed for Arch- bishop Hieronymus Colloredo of Salzburg. Mozart completed the composition of piano and violin duet within a short deadline, ie, late night the day before the concert. And since he had to provide written composi- tion for the leader of the Salzburg orches- tra, Brunetti, he wrote down his part and kept the piano part in his head. On the day of premier, Mozart played the compo- sition out of his head, making it one of the most beautiful and original pieces ever created by him.
