Kaushiki Chakrabarty
"Kaushiki Chakrabarty is one of the very few classical vocalists who will make a mark in the 21st century...." This was the assessment made by Bhimsen Joshi, one of India's greatest classical vocalists of the modern era.
Born in 1980 in the campus of Sangeet Research Academy, Kolkata, Kaushiki Chakrabarty is now a scholar of this great centre of lndian Cultural learning. The gurus of the Academy repose a great hope in Kaushiki and have blessed her for a glorious musical future.
Kaushiki's mother, Chandna Chakrabarty was her first guru noting that she could reproduce virtually any musical and rhythmic phrase when she was only two years old. Kaushiki then became a "ganda-bandh" shagird (disciple) of her father's guru, Jnan Prakash Ghosh, according to India's ancient system of guru-shishya parampara. On account of the old age of her guru and with his consent, she resumed her training under her father, Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty.

Ganapati Bhat
Choosing Hasanagi, a little village nestled in Uttara Kannada district over big-time Bangalore to set up a music academy, and giving Hindustani classical music lessons as 'vidya daan' rather than charging a fee, is the famed Pandit Basavaraj Rajguru disciple — Pandit Ganapati Bhat Hasanagi.
Rajguru accepted Panditji as a 'shishya' only after a six-month observation period: Panditji had casually walked from across his room into Rajguru's home to ask this. Rajguru never took a fee. But being a 'shishya' meant learning music only when the 'guru' taught and lugging around Rajguru's giant pot of drinking water from his hometown Dharwad on his concert tours!
At his Gurukul, 15 students learn music living with him like family; poor students are given scholarships. A advocate of the 'guru-shishya parampara', he says: "No performing art can be achieved in a classroom or university system of teaching."
I have attended the following two concerts of Ganapati Bhat:
