The spiritual movements had a profound impact on Indian music. Consider the following pairs of musical forms and their associated traditions:
1. Qawwali - Introduced and popularized by the Chishti Sufis in India.
2. Kirtan / Sankirtan - Popularized by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the Vaishnava saints.
3. Shabad Kirtan - Institutionalized within the Sikh tradition for congregational worship.
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Question

Accepted Answer

All three pairs are perfectly matched. Amir Khusrau (a Chishti disciple) is traditionally credited with creating Qawwali. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu made Sankirtan (ecstatic group singing) the central pillar of Bengal Vaishnavism. Guru Nanak and subsequent Sikh Gurus formalized Shabad Kirtan (singing of Gurbani) as the core of Sikh worship.
