  • General Knowledge
    Siddhartha Basu Preface Know for Sure—a series of eight general knowledge books for students of classes 1 to 8—has been a carefully and has earned the trust of many for providing detailed and accurate information on a wide range of subjects. between knowing more and being sure of what we learn is by getting to the primary source of facts or by cross- checking these with sound references. Know for Sure has been doing this since its beginning while continuously updating itself to keep pace with this age of information boom. This year, the series has been thoroughly revised Know for Sure is not just a bunch of questions and answers or just another bundle of facts which have to be answers. It is about going beyond a few select subjects that are taught in schools. It is also about becoming more aware of the world around us. Therefore, this series has been designed as an extension of the recommendations of National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 and is aimed at bringing alive general knowledge in the classroom with quizzes, games, facts, surveys, word craft, activities, life skills, brain-teasers, lifestyles, stories, handicrafts, group discussions about value systems, and a whole lot more that can excite, engage, and educate a young mind. The perspective of the series—India and the World—is aimed at kindling an all-round interest in subjects both familiar and unknown. While systematically dealing with subjects and areas recommended for learning, these books not only make quizzing fun and fascinating but also encourage learners to discover more.

  • The Journey of Kathak Dance
    Katha Dance Theatre Press Kit Dance. Discover. Transform. Office: 5444 Orchard Avenue N., Crystal, MN 55429 | Studio: 5806 W. 36th Street, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 | 763.533.0756 | [email protected] Mission Katha Dance Theatre creates, performs, and educates through the art forms of dance, music, poetry, and storytelling. Rooted in Kathak, the classical dance style of North India, KDT is dedicated to making dance accessible, inclusive and relevant. It enhances the local community by bridging diverse cultures and audiences to contribute to life’s infinite artistic expressions. History Founded in 1987 by Artistic Director Rita Mustaphi, KDT is a non-profit organization based in Crystal, Minnesota. The company was founded with the intent to advance Kathak, the classical dance tradition native to North India, and integrate it into the Twin Cities dance community. To this end, KDT offers performances, education, and other cultural activities of the highest artistic and cultural quality throughout the state of Minnesota. Furthermore, KDT is the only organization of its kind, scale and scope in the Midwest, ensuring its strong cultural and artistic impact. The word “Kathak” is derived from the Sanskrit word “Katha,” meaning “story”. As a dance form, Kathak has its origins among traveling storytellers (called “Kathakas”) who traveled throughout India’s villages sharing dramatized versions of Hindu epics and lore using songs, gestures, and subtle expressions. Centuries of exposure to Indo-Persian cultures enriched the art form, manifesting within it a unique synthesis of Hinduism and Islam. In the 16th Century, Persian rulers introduced Kathak to the royal courts, where it acquired secular elements of sophistication, especially in its pure dance passages.

Rajan Parrikar --------------------------------Begin Article---------------------------- From: "Great Masters of Hindustani Music" by Susheela Misra. Ustad Amir Khan by Susheela MisraFourteenth February 1974 was an ill-fated day for Hindustani music because it lost two great stalwarts on the same day. Pt. Srikrishna Narayan Ratanjankar succumbed to protracted illness. Ustad Amir Khan in the height of his form and fame, was tragically killed in a car accident. Although in his early sixties the Ustad was still a force to reckon with in North Indian music, and had it not been for that grievous accident, he might have easily gone on dominating the music world for another decade or so. The world of Indian music went into mourning on l3th February 1974, and there were public condolence-meetings in numerous cities.

  • Bhimsen Joshi and the Kirana Gharana«
    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.
