Sindhe Khan

Khan was the son and disciple of Amir Khan, also known as "Meeran Baksh Khan." Amir Khan was a disciple of Banney Khan of Gwalior gharana.^[3] Some accounts suggest Amir Khan was also a cousin of Banney Khan.^[4] Amir Khan was a friend of Balakrishnabuwa Ichalkaranjikar.^[5]

After his father's early death, Khan and his brother Pyar Khan traveled extensively, including to Kabul and sang in small groups. He spent some time in Karachi with a wealthy patron, Seth Bishandas. Fond of mysticism, Bishandas' influence compelled Khan to live as a fakir.^{[citation needed]}

In 1919, Khan relocated to Bombay and sustained himself on music tuitions. His reclusive and temperamental behavior led to a poor reputation. He developed an alcohol problem. He came into the care of one of his female disciples, Karamjan.^{[citation needed]}

He often visited V. D. Paluskar's music school in Bombay and sing their about once or twice a month.^{[citation needed]}

On 17 June 1950, Khan died at St. George's Hospital in Bombay.^{[citation needed]}

Khan does not appear to have major disciples outside of B. R. Deodhar and Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. Nevertheless, his music influenced popular singers like Chhota Gandharva.^[6]

Khan's tomb is located at Shuklaji Street in Mumbai.
