Mention the two phases of the growth of Indo-Islamic culture.
उत्तर
The two phases of the Indo-Islamic culture are music and paintings.
Music: Music of India inherited the rich Arab tradition of music. Amir Khusrau introduced many Perso-Arabic ragas with the Indian tunes. He developed the style of qawwali and khayals. Music was patronised by several medieval rulers e.g. Gunyat-ut-Munya, in the 14th century, was the first work in Indian music by a Muslim scholar. Akbar patronised 30 musicians, including Tansen. The famous musician composed many ragas.
Paintings: The wall-paintings of Ajanta are the best example. In the reign of Akbar, revival of paintings started. Out of 17 eminent artists employed by Akbar 13 were Hindus. The painters were given the task of illustrating the Persian text of the Mahabharata and Akbarnama. An unusual manuscript ‘Hamzanama’ has nearly 1200 paintings.
