Precise or factual information about his life is rather sketchy and for the most part appear to be anecdotal and the lineage of his family varies from one account to another. Rahimat Khan is believed to have been born at Gwalior in 1860 and was one of the sons of Haddu Khan, who along with his elder brother Hassu Khan had achieved fame as Khayal singers at the court of Gwalior. The ancestral home of this family was originally at Hussainpur, which later became known as Husanpur-Lohari, a twin village some twenty miles northwest of Muzaffarnagar in the district of the same name, and some twenty miles north of Kairana. This area north of Delhi is generally known as the ‘Bara-basti’. The area has produced a number of gifted families of musicians of Pathan origin, but it is notknown for certain if the generations of this particular family originally came from Husanpur Lohari, or had migrated there from Lucknow during the rulership of Nawab Saddat Ali Khan II (r.1797-1814). Of the ancestors of Rahimat Khan, Ghulam Rasool Khan and Mian Jani Khan were Qawali singers at Lucknow under the patronage of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daulah (r.1753 – 1775), and Nawab Asaf-ud- Daulah (r. 1775 – 1797). Ghulam Rasool Khan’s son Ghulam Nabi Khan, known as Mian Shori, was also a reputed Qawali singer of the time, and is said to have been an originator of the ‘Tappa’ style of singing. Ghulam Rasool Khan’s sister is said to have been the mother of Shakkar Khan and Makkhan Khan, while her sister is said to have been the mother of Kadar Bakhsh Khan and Abdullah Khan, who achieved some fame at Lucknow as Khayal singers. THE GWALIOR GHARANA It is said that Nawab Saddat Ali Khan did not have much interest in music and that during his reign many musicians left Lucknow to seek their futures elsewhere. Of these musicians, Shakkar Khan’s sons: Bade Mohammad Khan and Ahmed Khan went to Rewa, while Makkhan Khan’s son Nathan Pir Bakhsh went to Gwalior. With Nathan Pir Bakhsh and his sons, Nathu Khan and Ghutam Imam, the families that had been residing at Hasanpur-Lohari, including Kadar Bakhsh Khan’s sons – Haddu Khan and Hassu Khan, relocated to Gwalior and established a musical tradition there in the service of the Gwalior Darbar, which has become known as the ‘Gwalior’ Gharana. After his service at Lucknow, Kadar Bakhsh Khan is thought to have resided at Husanpur-Lohari, where be died at an early age. Although young Kadar Bakhsh Khan is said to have had at least three wives and a very large family, of whom Hassu Khan (c.1790-1851 or 1859) and Haddu Khan (c.1800- 1870 or 1875) were singers, born of one wife, while another son born of a younger wife was Masid Khan (c.1820-1880) a wrestler. Masid Khan had at least three daughters, of whom Mije was married to Rehman Bakhsh Khan, a Sarangi player of Kandhla. Another daughter Jilaye was married to Kale Khan, a Sarangi player from Kairana, and the father of Abdul Karim Khan and a third daughter Habiban, was also later married to Rehman Bakhsh Khan of Kandhla, and was the mother of Majid Khan, Hamid Khan and Bashir Khan of Khandla. Hassu Khan spent most of his life as a professional musician at Gwalior, and had one son named Ghuliman Khan, while Haddu Khan had three sons Chote Mohamed Khan, Hyder Khan and Rahimat Khan (c.1852, or 1860-1922). The younger Haddu Khan was at the ‘Durbar’ of Banda for some years in about the 1840’s, and returned to Gwalior for the rest of his years. Haddu Khan also had a daughter who was given in marriage to Bande Ali Khan. Rahimat Khan with Vishnupant Chhatre At Varanasi in the early 1890’s, Rahimat Khan came into contact with Vishnupant Chhatre (b. 1840 at Akalkhopar, Jamkhandi State – d. 1905 or 1908 at Indore). Vishnupant Chhatre had learnt music from Haddu Khan at Gwalior, and later set up a touring ‘circus company’ in which he engaged Rahimat Khan as a musician in about I892. Rahimat Khan is said to have remained with ‘Chhatre’s Circus’ up to 1899 at least. With Vishnupant Chhatre’s support, Rahimat Khan gave recitals in many princely states, and at the turn of the century he took up residence at Kurundwad, a town and state of the same name some sixteen miles south of Miraj. Although the Chiefs of Kurundwad, particularly Chintaman Rao R.aghunath (b. 1850 – r. 1876?) [alias Bala Saheb Patwardhan] and his son Balchand Rao Chinatmanrao [alias Anna Saheb Patwardhan] were known as great patrons and sponsors of music, there is no evidence to confirm if they patronized Rahimat Khan. Pandit Vishnupant Chhatre’s father, Moropant Chhatre had been in the service of Shrimant Appasaheb, the Raja of Jamkhandi, and secured a job for the young Vishnupant as a horse trainer, although the family left Jamkhandi and then settled at Tikota in Kurundwad State. Following a career as a horse-trainer, Vishnupant Chhatre took an interest in music and came into contract with Haddu Khan at Gwalior from whom he took music lessons. After holding down positions as a horse-trainer for the Rajas of Kagal, Kurundwad, Jawhar and Vinchur, Vishnupant Chhatre organised a circus company, which toured the Bombay Presidency. By the early 1890’s Vishnupant Chhatre had acquired the assets of the Wilson Circus at Bombay, which then operated as Chhatre’s Circus and toured in other parts of India. Some reports suggest that Rahimat Khan had travelled with the circus company for several years, while another report suggests that Vishnupant Chhatre had found Rahimat Khan wandering on the roadside while the circus was on tour at Benares. VISHNUPANT CHHATRE In 1899, Vishnupant Chhatre and his brother Vinayakrao placed the owner-ship and management of Chhatre’s Circus in the hands of Kashinathpant, the adopted son of Vinayakrao Chhatre. Under Kathinathpant’s management the circus continued to prosper and eventually toured overseas in the Dutch East Indies, Siam and China. Following his retirement, Vishnupant Chhatre lived at Tikota, near Kurundwad, is said to have organised a number of recitals of Rahimat Khan At about the turn of the century, Rahimat Khan took up residency at Kurundwad, a town and state of the same name, some sixteen miles south of Miraj. The Patwardhan Rajas of Kurundwad had for several generations been known as great patrons and sponsors of music and provided accommodation at Kurundwad for Rahimat Khan. Rahimat Khan remained with Vishnupant Chhatre’s circus for several years, touring all over India, and also gave performances in many princely states during his years with Vishnupant Chhatre. Maula Bakhsh Chief Musician of the Court of Baroda Maula Bakhsh, center framed in the picture below in 1881 founded one of the first public music schools in India, the Gayanshala, which is now the music faculty of the University of Baroda. Maula Bakhsh was the maternal grandfather of Inayat Khan. Rahimat Khan is seated in the second row left, and his son Inayat Khan seated right. Son of Rahimat Khan, Inayat Khan (1882-1927) In 1900 the most celebrated Hindustani musicians, along with Rahimat Khan were invited to attend a music conference at Kathmandu, Nepal, sponsored by Bahadur Shamsher Jang (1875-?) the Maharaja of Nepal. Rahimat Khan took his son Inayat Khan along with him. Gathering of musicians at a Music Conference in Nepal circa early 1900’s Rahimat Khan – front row – far right The Princely State of Kurundwad lies in the Southern Maratha Country, and was founded in 1733, by Raja Trimbakrao Appasaheb. In 1854, the state was divided into Senior and Junior branches, with the senior section being the larger. Of the twin states Kurundwad senior has only three towns of significance, Kurundwad, some sixteen miles from Miraj, and Tikota, some twelve miles west of Bijapur, along with Angol situated in Belgaum district. The junior branch is basically comprised of villages. The major town of the state, Kurundwad is situated on the right bank of the Panchganga River near its junction with the Kistna River. Farming essentially supports the town with no significant features except the Palaces of the Rajas. The Palace, Kurundwad (Senior) Courtesy – Kamakhya Sinh Chauhan — in Kurundwad, India Nearby, towards Kolhapur, at the confluence of the rivers, is the village of Narsoba-wadi, a sacred pilgrimage site, where each year a festival is held in honour of Shri Dattatreya {known as Narashiva Saraswati}. The festival also attracts a number of musicians as an appendage to the festival, and one that Abdul Karim Khan and Rahimat Khan used to participate in. Narsobachi Wadi Following the death of Vishnupant Chhatre at Indore in 1905 (or 1908), Rahimat Khan retired to Kurundwad, as a guest of the Raja of Kurundwad, who had also been a patron of Vishnupant Chhatre, and when Bala Saheb died in 1908, his son Appa Saheb continued to support Rahimat Khan.

    Malli Gandhi ENDANGERMENT OF LANGUAGE AMONG THE YERUKULA: A NOMADIC / DENOTIFIED TRIBE OF ANDHRA PRADESH The scheduled tribes, nomadic and denotified tribes constitute a major segment of population in Andhra Pradesh. They live in remote areas of the state and need special focus to solve their problems. Jatapu, Konda Dora, Muka Dora, Manne Dora, Savara, Gadaba, Chenchu, Koya, Gondi are some of the major primitive tribal groups of Andhra Pradesh. In addition there are Dasari, Yerukula, Yanadi, Sugali, Korawa, Koracha, Kaidai and Nakkala as some of the denotified tribes in Andhra Pradesh. Further, Woddera, Pamula, Nirshikari, Budabukkala, Mandula, Pusala, Gangi, Reddula, Boya, Dommara, Jogi are some of the nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. Andhra Pradesh has 52 lakhs scheduled tribe population (2001 census). The largest tribal population is found in Khammam district (26.47% that is 682617 – 6.8 lakhs), followed by Visakapatnam district (5.58 lakhs). The tribal population of Andhra Pradesh increased from 7.67 to 52 lakhs in 50 years between 1951 and 2001. The substantial population increase between 1971 and 2001 was because of the recognition of the Sugali, Yerukula, Yanadi, Nakkala and other denotified, nomadic tribes as scheduled tribes in the entire state. The tribal communities in the state of Andhra Pradesh mostly exhibited Proto-Austroloid features. Chenchus and Yanadis exhibit some Negrito strain whereas the Khond and Savara have Mongoloid features. The tribal communities in Andhra Pradesh mainly belong to three linguistic families such as: Dravidian language family (Gondi, Koya, Kolami, Yerukula, and so on); Mundari language family (Savra, Godaba, and so on); Indo-Aryan language family (Banjara, and others).

In Indian classical music, a “Gharana” or school refers to the adherence of a group of musicians to a particular musical style of performing a raga. The objective of this work was to find out if any characteristic acoustic cues exist which discriminates a particular gharana from the other. Another intriguing fact is if the artists of the same gharana keep their singing style unchanged over generations or evolution of music takes place like everything else in nature. In this work, we chose to study the similarities and differences in singing style of some artists from at least four consecutive generations representing four different gharanas using robust non-linear methods. For this, alap parts of a particular raga sung by all the artists were analyzed with the help of non linear multifractal analysis (MFDFA and MFDXA) technique.

    Bhimsen Joshi and the Kirana Gharana« CHETAN KARNAN! I. INTRODUCIlON he Kirana ghariinii laid emphasis on melody rather than rhythm. In our times, Bhimsen Joshi has become the most popular artist of this gharana Tbecause he combines melody with vinuosity. His teacherSawaiGandharva combined melody with the euphony of his voice. Sawai Gandharva's teacher. Abdul Karim Khan, was a pioneer and the founder of the Kiranagharana. He had arare gift for making melodic phrases in any raga he chose to sing. Abdul Karim Khan had another notable disciple in Roshan Ara Begam, but Sawai Gandharva was by far his most distinguished disciple. Sawai Gandharva's important disciples are Bhimsen Joshi, Gangubai Hangal and Firoz Dastur. In later sections of this chapter I have emphasized the rugged masculinityof GangubaiHangal's voice. I have also discussed the systematic elaboration of ragas presentedby Firoz Dastur. Just as the Gwalior gharana has two lines represented by Haddu Khan and Hassu Khan, the Kirana gharana has two lines represented by Abdul Karim Khan and Abdul Wahid Khan. Abdul Wahid Khan combined melody with systematic elaboration of raga. He laid emphasis on the placid flow of music and preferred tosing in Jhoomra tala offourteen beats. By elaboratinga raga in slow tempo, he showed a facet of melody distinct from Abdul Karim Khan. His most di stinguished disciples were Hirabai Barodekar and Pran Nath, who sang with euphony in slow tempo. It is sheer good luck that the pioneers of the Kirana gharana, Abdul Karim Khan and Abdul Wahid Khan, were saved from oblivion by the gramophone COmpanies.

  • The Gwalior Gharana of Khayal
    THE GWALIOR GHARANA OF KHAYAL SusheeJa Misra The different gharanas in Khayal-singing have not only helped to preserve and perpetuate the older traditions through an unbroken lineage of Guru­ shishya-paratnpara, but also added much colour and infinite variety to Hindustani Music. In an article on "A spects of Karnatic Music", the late Sri G.N. Balasubramaniam (a famous performing artiste and scholar) wrote almost longingly:- "Unlike the Karnatak system, the Hindustani system is more elastic and flexible and comparatively free from inhibitions and restrictions. For instance, in the North there are several Gharanas--each one handling one and the same raga differently. In the South everywhere, every raga is ren­ dered alike". It is this scope for variety, choice of suitable style, and flights of fancy that have maintained the popul arity of the Khayal up till now. The precursors of the Khayal also used to be rendered in different styles. In ancient granthas, we come across mention of different types of "Geetis" such as "Shudhdha", "Bhinna", "Goudi", "Vesari", and "Saadhaarant", When the golden age of the Dhrupad began (during the Middle Ages), Dhrupad-gayan also had developed four "Baants" (meaning styles, or schools) namely, :-"Goudi" or "Gobarhari", "Daggur", "Khandar", and "Nowhar". When the majestic and ponderous Dhrupad had to give place to the .classico-romantic Khayal-form, the latter was developed and perfected into various styles which came to be known as "Gharanas", These "gharanas" gave an attractive variety to Khayal-singing,-each "gharana" developing its own distinctive features, although all of them were deeply rooted in a common underlying tradition or "Susampradaaya".
