35- GREAT SONS OF BHARATH(MUSLIM MUSICIANS)

MS.SUBBULAKSHMI WITH ALADHIYA KHAN , A GREAT CLASSICAL SINGER

----

MANY PEOPLE IN TAMILNAD ( especially the young generation) has no Exposure to Hindusthani Classical music ..( to Carnatic Classical music as well). It is a tragedy. Any one acquainted with Hindustahni classical music will immediately realize the great contribution by GREAT SINGERS AND INSTRUMENTALISTS like Alladiya Khan, Bismilla Khan, Allauddin Khan, Ali Akbar Khan, Vilayath Khan, and many more. An India without them is UNTHINKABLE TO ME! Bismilla Khan was the temple Shenoy player in Kasi Visvanathar temple. Allauddin Khan was a disciple of Ramakrishna Pramahamsa. RaviSankar and Ali Akbar Khan are famous for their sitar-sarod jugalbandhi. A thousand years of cultural, philosophical, literary and spiritual fusion has taken place. If that is broken, India will be a thousand times poorer for that. I wonder if Tamil youth of present generation have any conception of such things. Classical artists know no barriers. Even in Tamilnad, we have a Nagaswaram player Chinna Moula Sahib, an expert . Thyagaraja 's music comes alive in him. Down with fanatics of any hue! I love my tradition but I admire others' traditions also...and try to achieve fusion of the best in all. That should be our attitude. .
