Which one of the following musicians served at the courts of Raja Man Singh Tomar and Bahadur Shah of Gujarat?
Baiju Bawra
Tansen
Lal Kalawant
Rang Khan Kalawant
* Baiju Bawra (also known as "Baiju the Insane"), was a dhrupad musician from the medieval India. Nearly all the information on Baiju Bawra came from the legends, and lacks historical authenticity. According to the most popular legends, Baiju lived in the Mughal period during the period of 15th and 16th centuries. Baiju was one of the court musicians of the Man Singh Tomar of Gwalher (now Gwalior). According to a story, which was mentioned by Susheela Misra in few immortals of Hindustani music, Baiju Bawra was born as a Baijnath Mishra in a poor Brahmin family in the Champaner, Gujarat Sultanate. After the death of his father, his mother, a devotee of Krishna, went to the Vrindavan. There, he met his teacher Swami Haridas, and was trained in a gurukula. * Some medieval narratives, introduced in works such as Mirat-iSikandari (17th century), narrate an incident about a Gujarati singer known as Bacchu (also called as Bakshu or Manjhu). According to a narrative, Bacchu was a musician in the court of Sultan Bahadur Shah of the Gujarat. When the Mughal emperor Humayun attacked the Bahadur Shah's contingent in Mandu, Bacchu fell in the hands of a Mughal soldier. Bacchu is also identified with Baiju by a section of scholars. Howevers, others believe that the Bacchu and Baiju were two distinct persons.
