On February 26 we had a small yet important gathering of music enthusiasts at IIT Guwahati. Smt. Sumana Ramanan, a journalist-cum -writer, who was briefly visiting IIT Guwahati, discussed her newly published book `The Secret Master: Arun Kashalkar and a Journey to the Edge of Music’. She spoke about some important aspects of Pt. Arun Kashalkar‘s musical journey. In spite of being a master of Khayal singing, having imbibed the essence of Gwalior, Agra, and Jaipur gharanas, remains unknown to a broader audience beyond a select circle of musiciqns and connoisseurs. The book thus explores some key questions about the nature of mainstream Hindustani musical ecosystem and the history of Khayal, its various styles and asthetics, as Mrs. Ramanan explained. The talk was followed by a short question-and-answer session. Finally, Smt. Sabarni Dasgupta, the founder and music teacher of Lihaaz presented a khayal demonstration of Raag Jog, followed by a Dadra and a Bhajan.

The evening was enriching and fulfilling. However, with on-going exams in the schools and at IIT, we couldn’t host it for a broader audience. We sincerely apologize to all the Lihaaz family members and music connoisseurs in and around Guwahati. We pledge to carry on our journey to promote and spread Indian classical music
