Inthe Era of 90's Classical rendering of ghazals become popular amongst the masses. The order of ghazal singing as a manifestation of "light traditional" music is a misinterpretation. Traditional ghazals are hard to render in light of the shifting temperaments of the "shers" or couplets in the ghazal.
