References. 10. Glossary. Begum Akhtar b. circa. 1914 d 1974 a legend in her own lifetime is one such person on whom there is no available biography. A pioneer in the field of Indian light classical music she helped popularize the traditional form of thumri and ghazal gayaki and took it to the concert level all over India and abroad. Unfortunately despite her talents an entire generation of Indians has grown up listening to only gossip connected with Begum Akhtar's life be it the controversy surrounding the Nawab of Rampur or her other alleged affairs. This is what Shanti Hiranand has attempted in her memoirs. It is a book that will hopefully provide a salve to all those open wounds surrounding Begum Akhtar's persona. 170 pp. Seller Inventory # 58194
