Who among the following is an exponent of Hindustani Music ?

  • A.Syama Sastri
  • B.Pandit Jasraj
  • C.Thyagaraja
  • D.M.S. Subbulakshmi

Answer: B

The exponent of Hindustani music is Pandit Jasraj.

Pandit Jasraj (1930-2020) was a leading vocalist of the Mewati gharana of Hindustani classical music.

Syama Sastri and Thyagaraja were two of the Trinity of Carnatic music, and M. S. Subbulakshmi was a celebrated Carnatic vocalist, so all three belong to the south Indian tradition.

Hindustani music is the classical tradition of north India, and Carnatic music that of the south; the two share the system of ragas and talas but differ in style and repertoire.
