Indian Music

India, the land of Vedas, has the oldest cultural heritage. It has produced many great scholars, musicians, scientists and sages. Many of our great masters have been buried in oblivion and their valuable contributions are not available anymore. It is with this view, this commemorative volume is planned, in order to keep the memory of 'Sitar-Sudhakar' Acharya Ustad Mushtaq Ali Khan alive. A true representative of the SENIA tradition, Khan Saheb dedicated his whole life for maintenance of the purity and tradition of our music and never compromised his ideals for mere public appreciation. As a result, he was not given his due either by the Government or by public. This volume has three sections: first consisting of the reminiscences and tributes paid by late Khan Saheb's friends, admirers and followers; the second section consisting of invaluable articles on various aspects of Indian music by internationally famed scholars; and the third section on Khan Sahab by the author and some of Khan Sahab's compositions. This volume is a testimony of Ustad Mushtaq Ali Khan Saheb's stature as Sadhak and a respected musician.
