Taatarstan is an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation, which is situated along the banks of the River Volga, and to the west of the Ural Mountains. Historically, this is a small kingdom that was absorbed into the USSR after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, as an autonomous republic. The original inhabitants, called the Tataar or Taatari people, belong to the ethnic Taatar group from the old Turkistan (modern day Turkey), who spread out over a large part of East Europe in the eighth century AD.

Many online sources of information indicate that Khaiyyaam made his debut in 1953 with the film ‘Footpath’. This information is erroneous. Zahur Khan, better known as Khaiyyaam, has actually been active as a music director since 1947/48. During the years from 1947 to 1953, he was using a different pseudonym. In this period, he composed music under the name of ‘Sharma ji’. He once shared in an interview, the reason for why he used the name ‘Sharma ji’. His strong interest was music and he moved to Bombay to make a career in films. The years of 1946-47 were very intense with the issues of independence and also the partition of India. A deep divide had occurred between the communities, and a large contingent of film wallahs opted to move to Pakistan.

And so, yesterday as I was conversing back and forth with Harish ji Raghuvanshi (resident of Surat, compiler of the ‘Mukesh Geet Kosh’) regarding information on the lyricist SH Behari, we started to discuss the general topic of hugely talented lyricists that spent a very small time in the industry, contributed a small number of very wonderful songs and then somehow did not work anymore for Hindi films. Their filmi careers are lost under obscurity.
