Maharaj Ghulam Hussain Kathak (1905 – 2001) was a classical dancer and teacher.
Ghulam Hussain was born in Calcutta in a Syed family.[citation needed]
Initially, he worked at Agha Hashar Kashmiri's drama company, where he once saw Acchan Mahraj's performance. This was his first encounter with Kathak. After the downfall of drama in 1930 as an art, he along with other artists gathered there in Rampur where he became ganda band disciple of Acchan Maharaj and learnt from him.[citation needed][1][2]
