Malka Jaan of Agra Gharana was the court musician at the durbar of which of the following Nawabs of Calcutta?
Mohammad Ali Shah
Shuza-ud-Daula
Wajid Ali Shah
Asaf-ud-Daula
- Malka Jaan was a renowned court musician associated with the rich tapestry of Indian classical music.
- She hailed from the prestigious Agra Gharana, known for its expressive style and contribution to Hindustani music.
- The name "Nawab of Calcutta" is somewhat misleading as historically, Calcutta (now Kolkata) was primarily a British administrative center.
- However, Malka Jaan was closely associated with Wajid Ali Shah, the Nawab of Awadh, who moved to Calcutta after being exiled from Lucknow by the British.
- Correct Answer: 3. Wajid Ali Shah
- Option 1: Mohammad Ali Shah was the third Nawab of Awadh, and his reign doesn't correlate with the connection to Calcutta or Malka Jaan.
- Option 2: Shuza-ud-Daula was the Nawab of Oudh and another ruler of Awadh prior to Wajid Ali Shah's time.
- Option 4: Asaf-ud-Daula was a Nawab of Awadh known for building the Bara Imambara in Lucknow but again not related to the context mentioned.
