Correct Answer - Option 1 : Indore

The correct answer is Indore.

  • Amir Khan was born in a family of musicians in Indore, India.
  • His father, Shahmir Khan, a sarangi and veena player of the Bhendibazaar Gharana, served at the court of the Holkars of Indore.
  • His grandfather, Change Khan, was a singer in the court of Bahadurshah Zafar. Amir Ali's mother died when he was nine years old. He had a younger brother, Bashir, who became a sarangi player at the Indore station of All India Radio.

  • He was initially trained in the sarangi by his father. However, seeing his interest in vocal music, his father gradually devoted more time to vocal training, focusing on the Merukhand technique.
  • Amir Ali was exposed at an early age to many different styles since just about every musician who visited Indore would come to their house, and there would be mehfils at their place on a regular basis.
  • Also, he learned the basics of tabla playing from one of his maternal uncles, who was a tabla player
