Who is Amar Nath?
Pandit Amar Nath was an Indian classical vocalist. He was the first and closest disciple of Ustad Amir Khan.
Amar Nath was born in 1924 in Jhang in Punjab, now in Pakistan. He learned music from B.N. Datta of Lahore from 1942 to 1947. He moved to Delhi after the partition of India. After several failed attempts, he convinced Amir Khan to accept him as a disciple.
