<br />
==Musical career==<br />
Khadim Hussain Khan settled in Bombay in the late twenties and was associated with musical life in Mumbai for several decades. He was a capable performer, with the ability to show forth the unique features of the [[Agra gharana]] style of singing and all its eight angs. However, it was as a music teacher that he will be remembered by. Although he had been a broadcaster since the inception of [[All India Radio]] (AIR), he made teaching music his life's mission. Among his students are Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan, Saguna Kalyanpur, [[Lalith J. Rao]] and [[Babanrao Haldankar]].<ref name=ITC/><ref>[https://www.parrikar.org/vpl/?page_id=424 Profile of Khadim Hussin Khan on Vijaya Parrikar Library website] Retrieved 9 January 2022</ref><br />

He also was a composer of [[bandish]]es and [[tarana]]s under the nom-de-plume of "Sajan Piya". A number of his compositions are still used by [[Agra gharana]] performers today. He composed a number of [[bhajan]]s as well.<ref name=ITC/><br />
