A Syed Wajid's Presentation
------------
Roshan Ara Begum (1917 -1982) became one of the most important woman in the history of Hindustani classical music. In Pakistan she is revered as Mallika-e-Mauseeqi or Queen of Music.
Roshan Ara Begum was one of the most outstanding disciple of the legendary Abdul Karim Khan of the Kirana Gharana. After singing a few ghazals and geets for the films she devoted her entire life to Northern Indian classical music even when it was not that popular in Pakistan. She too shifted & migrated to Pakistan at the height of her career knowing that the conditions were not that conducive for her.
---------------
It was unfortunate that she migrated to Pakistan since Pakistan has diluted her interest in this type of music. She would have had much better career if she had stayed back

@mohankop .....@ Partially agreeing your observation, I would like to say that blindly adaptation of Western rock & jazz music, India is speedily diminishing its Classical music traditions as well.
