Sahana Banerjee is an esteemed sitarist. Her mother Chhabi Banerjee, a famous singer, and her father Santosh Banerjee, a sitar and surbahar master, trained her in their styles while also providing her with the freedom to form her own. Sahana seeks to expand Hindustani music’s audience, organising the Swarsudha baithak series of house concerts (“my principal aim is to propagate Indian classical music among musically common people who are way from classical music”).

“There are very few practising female instrumentalists today because it has been ingrained in our mindset that instrumental music requires more physical strength. We are also considered secondary to our male counterparts. It pains me to see reviews of my concerts where a certain concession is offered by the generous critic on grounds of gender. I think it is outright discrimination; not a holistic response to my music. Many great talents have been systemically wiped out because of this gender bias but still some remarkable musicians like Vidushi Jaya Biswas, Vidushi Kalyani Ray and Vidushi Sharan Rani Mathur, who held onto their turf amid great odds, have become our inspiration. Please do not teach only vocal music or dance to your girl with the single-minded agenda of improving marital prospects.” (Sahana Banerjee)
