Ustad Ali Baksh (1850–1920) was an Indian classical singer. Together with Fateh Ali Khan, he founded the Patiala Gharana in the 19th century.[1] This gharana has claimed to combine the musical traditions of Delhi gharana, Gwalior gharana and Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana. Patiala gharana has many notable pupils including Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan (1902–1968), Malika Pukhraj (1912 – 4 February 2004)[2] and Gauhar Jan (1875–1930).[3] Ustad Ali Baksh Khan regularly sang with Fateh Ali Khan in late 19th century and early part of 20th century. Before the partition of India in 1947, they were the court musicians in Patiala. Ali Baksh Jarnail had one son, Ustad Akhtar Hussain (1900–1972) who, then, had 3 sons Amanat Ali Khan (1932 – 18 September 1974), Bade Fateh Ali Khan and Hamid Ali Khan who have been carrying the torch of Patiala gharana in Pakistan for many decades now. Asad Amanat Ali Khan, Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan are the newer generation names in Patiala gharana in Pakistan.
