Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khansahib inherited the
musical parampara (tradition) of Punjab that
encompassed the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religions.
Saint Hazrat Bulleh Shah, whose Sufiana Kalam (Sufi song)
is sung even today, was buried in Kasur, Ghulam Ali's
birth place. The shepherds, wandering in the hills,
sang in praise of Hazrath Ali andHussain --
grandsons of Prophet Muhammad --
in melodies akin to classical Indian
ragas. The shabads and qawwalis of the Sikhs
were often based on ancient Dhrupads
and Khayals, again Indian classical ragas.
In the biography of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan,
authors Malti Gulani and Quratulain Haider
have paid a rich tribute to the maestro.
Ghulam Ali's uncle and guru, Ustad Kale Khan,
was himself trained in the Patiala school of music
(Patiala gharana); he taught the young Ustad
simple compositions. In 1911, Ghulam
Ali accompanied Kale Khan to Delhi,
at the age of 9, and watched him
perform at the 'Dilli Darbar'. Thus began
the grooming and development of the
musicalpersonality of the young
disciple, alongside rigorous taleem
(training) under his uncle's baton. Later
after a brief acquaintance with
Lucknow and its highly refined soirees,
Ghulam Ali returned to Lahore with his
father and resumed his nightly riyaaz (practice)
on the banks of the river Ravi. Singing all
night not only developed his stamina, but also
gave him the rare sensitivity to gauge the external
response. In 1932, he lost his wife Allah Jiwai. His
grief, poured into melody, gave birth to the immortal
thumri: Yaad piya ki aye, reflecting the very trauma of his heart.
On arrival in Mumbai in 1940, Ghulam Ali thrived under the
benign patronage of the noted singer Ganga Bai.
A Sufi at heart, he was once greatly moved by the poem
Hari Om Tat Sat, and rendered it musically in the
haunting raga Pahari. Years later, he explained, "God,
Truth and Haq is one. I've Allah in my mind when
I sing these words...Different people
in the world have different names for the Supreme Being
who is 'One'. In 1947, he visited Afghanistan at the invitation
of King Zahir Shah and re-established the splendid
rapport in music between the Afghans and Indians,
where the Afghan string instruments like Rabab and
Santoor were part of the Hindustani ensemble.
Many Indian musical instruments still retain their
Persian roots, such as Tabla, derived from Persian tabla
Sitar meaning seven strings and Dilruba
being a longer version of Sarangi. The Partition in
1947 dealt a severe blow to the composite culture
of the Indian subcontinent. But Ghulam Ali
at a concert organized by Radio Lahore sang
his own composition in raga Mian ki Todi:
Ab Mori Raam / Raam ri Daiyyan (Ram is
my only solace). In 1951, he was invited
by Morarji desai to have Indian citizenship
and sing at concerts all over thecountry.
According to the cognoscenti,
earlier the Ustad's singing was like the
sound of the waterfall striking against the
mountainside and rushing with great force
to mingle with the ocean; now it resembled
the vast ocean itself whose might and
depth was unfathomable! In 1963, Ghulam Ali
shifted to Kolkata where he was frequently
invited to sing before highly appreciative
audiences. He would say: Maharashtrians
are great connoisseurs of classical music, with
their approach being technical and academic.
The exuberance, which the people
of Kolkata show, is characteristic
of their emotional and artistic nature!
It is in Kolkata that he took young Malti Gilani
(singer and later his biographer) as his
gunda-bund shagird (committed disciple).
She has noted how the open house atmosphere
Prevailed at the Ghulam Ali residence --
reminiscent of the Sufi Khanas
and hospices of the Middle Ages.
In such places -- as even in the Dargahs today --
a cauldron of rice was always
being cooked for the traveller and food distributed
to the rich and the poor alike! In this respect,
theSufis of Islam, the Bhaktas of the Vaishnava
cult and the Catholic mystics of the Medieval Europe -
they all shared a similar spirit of tolerance and bonhomie.
After having accomplished a lot,
Ghulam Ali breathed his last in 1968 in Hyderabad --
far away from the green wheat fields of Kasur on the
eastern seaboard of India. That he always took his listeners on
an inward journey of musical understanding and fulfillment
remained true to his last day. This biography
provides an insight not only into the
music of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan but into the history of
Indian classical music at large. ***
