Ustad Asad Ali Khan Sahab is not with us anymore
16 06 2011Rudra Veena exponent Ustad Asad Ali Khan, one of the last existing advocates of the Khandarbani dhrupad school, passed away in New Delhi early Tuesday. He was 74. The classical musician represented the 12th generation of Jaipur’s Beenkar Gharana.
We deeply mourn the demise of the great master and pray to The Almighty for the eternal peace for the departed soul. Its a huge loss to the Indian classical music.

Sangeet Gharanas – Origin
5 09 2010In my upcoming posts, I’ll present more on the Gharanas of the Hindustani classical music. I’ll talk about how and why the gharans were formed, why and what is the importance of Gharanas and its development.
Indian music has seen various ups and downs since the primitive times. It’s a long journey which has impacted the music tradition with changing times. If we look at it from historic point of view, then the rise and fall downs of various kingdoms and royal family has impacted the lives and music of the musicians.
An artist is a human being and therefore is a social animal too and the impact of the society in which he moves is clearly visible on his art.
In the course of developement of music, the impact of sacred traditions from the times of Ramayana and Mahabharata, the stability of the hindu kings, extravagance and support to art of the Mughals, devotion of the saints, hard and disciplined life style of Marathas, colourful lifestyles of kingdoms, ignorance of British and freedom struggle is clearly visible on the present state of our music traditions.
Its evident from history that whatever an artist has learned or received over the ages, he has carefully presented it further to the society, this is how the gharans are nourished since ages and with the change in time, the impact is further visible.
Origin of Gharanas –
There is no fixed and firm evidence available which defines a set time of the origin of the gharans, however the various books published in this regard tells us that the Gharans came into existence only around two or three centuries back.
If we look at the dhrupad tradition, there were four different vanis present, before dhurpad, there were bharat mat, shiv mat, hanumant mat & narad mat existed which are synonyms of gharanas only, therefore it’s not correct to think that Gharanas originated only two or three centuries ago.
To be Contd….
