In the 1920s and 30s, and also later, Pankaj Babu’s affinity for Rabindra Sangeet has had a significant influence in making this music form popular with the general public. He had made a choice of music as his calling in life, at a very early age, and although he joined college, but he did not go ahead with higher education. He first became a student of the noted musician Durgadas Bannerjee, and then later studied music under Dinendranath Tagore. Dinendranath or Dinu Thakur, as he was popularly called, is the grandson of Rabindranath Tagore’s eldest brother, Dipendranath Tagore. This association brought Pankaj Babu into the culturally rich environment of the Jorasanko Thakur Bari, the ancestral home of the Tagore family.

As a poetry form, qawwali originated in Persia and traveled to the subcontinent, during the emergence of the Sufi philosophers in the 12th and 13th centuries. In its original form, its intent is to sing the praises of Allaah, the Almighty, Prophet Muhammad, and other saints. The art was exclusively performed at places of religious worship and at dragaahs (mausoleums) of revered saints and teachers. The poetry is implicitly intended to be spiritual in its context, and its central themes are love, devotion and longing (of man for the Divine).
