[KumarTabla]

Can someone roughly translate this into English? Or give me the main idea of some of the key things in this interview. Thanks :)

[himalayaheart]

it is so sad that Ustad Shaukat ji has Died. but has gave us his Talents and the Idea. I'm crying and praying him to come back again in this world.

[sabrang1430]

@himalayaheart hope he's come back to india he will be highly honoured,unlike pakistan where he was treated next 2 nothing and also other legend artist in pakistan!.

[allfieldsreq]

One thing that shows music is not tied to a race: the greatest exponents of Dhrupad (a style of singing praising hindu gods) are Muslims! i.e. the Dagars!

[yjvnz]

The Interviewer is an extremely intelligent person - this video looks very old but he is asking very good questions. At 9:24 he is extremely humble, think about how much talent he has - even Ustad Allarakha did 8-10 hours riyaz (with a result). Could the person upload the entire video please?

[KumarTabla]

@yjvnz Sorry. I don't understand the language. Can you please translate what Ustadji is saying at 9:24? Thanks.

[yjvnz]

Ustadji is talking about his 'riyaz' (daily practise). He is humbly saying that he has not done that much practise, and is not going to exaggerate that he did 8, or 10 hours riyaz. He says that his Riyaz was only 2 - 2,1/2 hours. The host then asks him what he called the parts of the Tabla as they were contorversial.

[pudtati]

Unbelieveable. One of the greats of the tabla is talking and many are going on about petty geographical squables.

This guy ranks among greats.

[past594]

OK to all the Pakistan and India Haters...When Miyan Shaukat Khan Sahib was born, there was no India or Pakistan. We were all British Subjects...When partition happened, there was a mass migration between both sides. (the largest mass migration in history).

[MABID1389]

Forget where this man was from but look at his humility, a master of tabla yet so humble.

[allfieldsreq]

The best musicians are humble.

[123tan123]

[hammerguy1512]

post the whole interview please

[gurujio]

waaah..plz ppl realize it doesnt matter where one is from...music...rythm is all universal..just respect these great legendary artists..and also learn to respect the tabla..or ne instrument..it is a divine gift from the almighty to humanity...thank u

[shaukatmi]

Khansahib Shaukat Hussien Sahib in my humble opinion is the worlds best Tabla player. His humility and low profile nature and with no marketing skills makes him less known in India but5 he is number one in the world. Pakistani's are proud to have him .

[123654789985455]

Pakistan Zindabad !!!

[jaspreet6]

why r u saying pakistan zindabad...the guy was born in Punjab,India

[fahmid2007]

Hi, He is actually from Pakistan Punjab. He is Pakistani!

[allfieldsreq]

Does this matter?

He is a tabla player who kept this ancient and very difficult art of tabla,

just be proud that he was such an amazing artist

[fahmid2007]

mind your own business please...its a discussion between other people and you have no right to give a stupid reply as we know it our self already...thank you

[hammerguy1512]

Ustad ji just said he was born in Jullandur, not that it matters but it should wake you up to the fact that Pakistan and India doesn't mean anything when it comes to this music.

[fahmid2007]

Mate, I am also a Tabla player and you dont need to express this to me..Its about seeking knowledge on renowened musicians and their history/background..people like you won't understand this

[hammerguy1512]

I am 100% about seeking knowledge on the Masters and their history as well. I was only trying to make the point that he says in this video that he was born in Jullandar which happends to be on the east-punjab or the indian punjab. I was just clairfying A fact of his history.

[hammerguy1512]

You said "He is actually from Pakistan Punjab. He is Pakistani!" Well he definitely was pakistani because he lived there after partition. But you also say he was from pakistan, punjab. Now if we look at your point geographically it doesnt make sense.

[fahmid2007]

good bye sir

[sonofthedestroyer]

[gurujio]
