He played the sarangi from the Delhi Radio Station, when its broadcast was
started in 1935. He became court-musician to Maharaja Tukaji Rao Holkar of
Indore and was also in the Rampur court of a brief period. He was highly
influenced by Pandit Bhatkhande whom he met in Indore. He has written several parts of Sangit Viveka Darpan, which was published in 1934.
He migrated to Pakistan three years after partition but his heart
remained in India. His sons, Umrao Bundu Khan and Buland Iqbal are also good
