in south asia, they are associated with muslims, but it doesnt mean it comes from arabs. qawwali was created by amr khusrao, a persian immigrant to india, so there is a little m/eastern connection, but the basis is the folk singers (bhajan) that you will find from rajasthan to bhojpuri, etc.

a lot of south asian muslims are very defensive about their culture against the religious orthodoxy types like talibans, so they make myths like it originally came from arab and its not hindu influence

kya qawwali hai......

NA SUN NE WALO KA HAAL KYA HOGA . KYA HOGA

Who cares where qawwali came from, it is an accepted art form and it is most enjoyable. Muslims of India gained as much from the locals as they gave, let us celeberate both cultures. Long live all of humanity

Like every art form Qawwali also has various aspects and this obviously is a popularistic one and the singing is very very good... there are others written by Amir Khusrao like "Nami danam chi manzil bood shab jaay.." which have farsi lyrics.. a true lover will enjoy all of them - they have different appeals to different moods..

@Khwaab agree with you that sentiments might get hurt seeing something you hold in high esteem being made cheap by cinema but can you really fight the commercial mkt??

[ghayasbilbees]

@baadindyan Although I may fall in our definition of 'Taliban-like Ortho' but I do agree with you that Qawwali barely has to do anything with Arabs & Islamic/Muslim Culture, precisely.

It's purely an Indian tradition and muslims just got involved in it like in anything else!

@baadindyan

Amir Khosraw was from balkh Afghanistan, not from persia or iran

[upenbhupen]

Same type of question answering songs between women and man also exsit in Nepali folk culture. I donot excatly where it came from i think and hope more or less indigenious and parcticed in many places in diffrent way, so no worries about origination

@juslkn

Persian was NOT the lingua franca but specialist education acquired by the intellectual glitterati of the mughal court and the people who aspired to be identified with this lot! would you call English as lingua franca of 20th century? yes there are a lot of people who study and gain proficiency in speaking and conducting business in English, is NOT THE LINGUA FRANCA

Before the Mughals language of culture science literature poetry and learning was Sanskrit!

dont invent history!
