Pankaj Udhas, the name by itself sounds sweet and
reminds one of a voice that is as sweet as honey itself.
The man deserves the credit for making ghazals popular
at a time when it was losing its foothold over the
masses. And today amidst the cacophony of fast and pop
music he has proved that ghazals still charm music
lovers the world over and that music is not what is made
out of machines but that which is made out of an
artist's soul.
Born in Gujarat to a family of Zamindars, with his elder
brother, Manhar Udhas already into stage performances,
young Pankaj needed no initiation into the world of
music. Even before he was five, Pankaj became conscious
of his singing skills. But it was only after his first
stage performance during the Indo-Chinese war that the
music bug bit hard. He sang Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon and
won for himself a prize of Rs. 51 that a gentleman in
the crowd generously sponsored seeing his talent.
From his first ghazal album Aahat that released
in 1980, Pankaj has released around 40 albums
with countless number of compilations. In all
his albums he has always tried to present
ghazals in a manner more appealing to the masses
yet maintaining the essence of ghazals. Since
singing ghazals by itself is a very limited area
with very little scope for innovativeness,
Pankaj has tried to use the little scope to the
best as he could. In the process he has given
the world of music some amazing ghazals, which
will remain in the hearts of music lovers for
time immemorial.
