Talk:Bahadur Khan

message: For your reading pleasure...
:Whenever he played Sarode duett with Baba Allauddin Khan or Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, he gave out an elusive, mystical quality in the rendering where both erotica and devotion mingle. No wonder, it captivated his audience who, tears rolliing down their cheeks, left with a perennial impression not to be erased in their lifetime. In sum, pathos, poignancy, serenity and layakari or control of rhythms in a Raga were enduring.
Enough! This needs help. I am not attempting to demean those who have contributed to the article, and I am sure that all of the above is true, although I have never been fortunate enough to see one of his performances. However, we need to keep WP:NPOV in mind. — riana_dzasta wreak havoc|damage report  16:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lump in my throat, tears rolling........Peerless 

message: did not know the Sarod had a dad???? guys comon........enough of the flowery language. Keep it down with the metaphors.

thread_title:  FATHER OF THE SARODE??? 

message: I have tried to provide references everywhere needed in this biography. Praise on Ustad Bahadur Khan is also referenced now from newspapers. I, therefore, guess no one should have any more problem with this article. Yet, if any, please discuss that first at here (the talk page). And please don't write comments such as 'Tejendra has surpassed Bahadur Khan, ... and Bahadur Khan's name emerged' -- because, firstly, you need to provide reference before claiming that Bahadur Khan's student Tejendra has 'surpassed him', and secondly, Bahadur Khan's own genius was capable enough for emerging his name (as it can now be seen in the reference websites). OK? Let me hope all to be polite and 'non-political' here at wikipedia.
Best wishes to all, Sarodiya 19:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References and Notes on This Biography and A Request 

message: also his fans were all the people listed!!!!!! please lets keep wikipedia a objective resource. I'm sure that Bahadur was a spectacular musician, however wiki is supposed to be a encyclopedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sridhar pasaker (talk • contribs) 05:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  ok, please!!!!! lets refrain from words like the greatest sarod player!!!! and subjective terms like unbelivable strokes 

message: You seriously have to refrain from using subjective material such as "bringing out the soul of a raga" and Bahadur khan having an introvert personality!!! 
Please realize that this is not meant for an advertisement!!!!
what should be included in an wikipedia article is 1) Profession of the subject 2) Name, date of birth and or death, and place of birth. 3) brief overview of accomplishments such as documented achievements ( bringing out a soul of a raga is not one) 4)  impact of the achievements (again documentation needed) 5) footnotes.

thread_title:  TO SARODYA 

message: Its a general encyclopedic rule to be objective while describing a subject. I have revereted the article back that mentions Kirit Khan! the reason being Bahadur Khans other relatives and achievements have been mentioned. On the tocken of objectivity all aspects of the subject should be articulated. On the other hand if one does not wish to include Kirit Khan  in the article, then none of Bahadur Khans other relatives should be mentioned.
lets make wiki a true objective source
cheers

thread_title:  Just a note 

message: For your sincere attention, be it objective or not, cleverly selecting part of a 'true' story can give a completely different and manipulated impression of a subject. Its even a bigger crime than telling a full 'false' story. And I'm afraid, you have been successful in doing so regarding Kirit Khan. If you want to be objective, please do mention his Sitar achievements too, and if you do not know that, let me put it in. 
Anyway, I give full credit for your effort. I'll appreciate if you consider my comment as constructive.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.8.131.165 (talk) 04:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Objective, but cleverly partially... 

message: Well, sure if there is sourced information on Kirit Khans musical achievements by all means, please do help by including them in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.112.55 (talk) 23:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kirit Khan 

message: Wikipedia itself contains a page devoted to Kirit Khan, where details of plenty of his achievements are available and none about him needs to be included in his fathers page. If anybody feels, his misdeeds(which appears on his father's page) also should be included in his own page under a suitable heading and not in his father's. As suggested by a 'Gentleman' above, who seems to be very much concerned about objectivity of a subject and justifies inclusion of Kirit Khan's details because those of his other relatives are mentioned, I propose, agreeing to his demand that these relatives achievements should be neatly removed except about how they were related to Bahadur Khan and what they were. 
Then, I think as per this 'Gentleman's "Just a note", Kirit Khan with all the burden of his misdeeds may take off to relieve the soul of Bahadur Khan and would not disturb his admirers any more.
This will also satisfy this 'Gentleman' and let him see wiki a true objective source and cheer.

thread_title:  Kirit Khan 

message: The references on this page were duplicated and some suffered from link-rot. That has been cleaned up and a considerable copyedit done to address the NPOV issue and the convoluted family aspect reduced. One thing that needs to be further discussed is the use of the prefix 'usted', aka maestro throughout the article. I removed most of these except for at the start. It appears unclear how this this title is obtained, what it signifies and what the general consensus is on its use. Until that is made clear, the use of it should really be discouraged. Opinions please? Karst (talk) 13:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
