Singer Who was Erased in the Dust of History
Gahar Jaan is that name or the singer who was erased in the dust of history. let me tell you about a woman who was India’s first superhit singer when gold was priced at 20 bucks per bar, she was paid 3000 bucks. The woman’s name was Gahar Jaan and she was a Baiji by profession. Baiji ie earning money by dancing in front of men was her occupation. She knew that people spoke a lot of negative things about her behind her back but she was an artistic person, so she never paid attention to them. She preferred to immerse herself in art.
She was the first Indian artist to record a song that still remains in history. She was a woman of Indian origin. From a young age she started learning dance from various renowned artistes and within a very short time she too became a skilled artiste and there was a time when her popularity was at its peak and she was asked to sing for a hefty fee.
But initially her songs were limited to the elite sections of the society, but later she was recorded and after 1902 her songs spread to the masses and at one point he became very popular among the masses. Although history does not remember her, we searched and found out her name and introduced her to you today, but we did not find much information about her ,we presented to you what we found, later we hope to make a detailed blog about her.
