D V Paluskar

D V Paluskar (1921–1955) is an Hindustani classical vocalist. Known for contributions to Hindustani classical music, performance, teaching, and repertoire building.

To Pandit D.V.Paluskar goes the credit for simplifying the highly complex Gwalior gayaki, and endowing it with a depth of perception and a rich emotive quality. His music, like his personality, was straightforward and touched the very heartstrings. His sudden death in 1955, at the age of 34, was one of the most tragic happenings in the annals of Hindustani music. A promising career was cut short, suddenly and prematurely!
