Tarana is a type of composition in Hindustani classical vocal music in which certain words (e.g. "odani", "todani", "tadeem" and "yalali") based on Persian and Arabic phonemes are rendered at a medium (madhya laya) or fast (drut laya) rate

A Tarana composition is usually sung in the same raga in vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) laya in order to create an interesting variation. Usually Taranas are sung in a very fast tempo. Tarana singers are required to have a good practice in tongue-twisting syllables.

Tarana is basically a sufi poetry where farsi words are used but they do have a meaning of their own like nom tom tana derena

Why is carnatic music overshadowed by Hindustani and Western when Carnatic music is the source of everything?
Depends on various facts such as the regional interest by music enthusiasts and authorities who conducts programmes, fan/rasikas base, govt authorities/organisation who promotes programmes/events.

First of all a teacher should be able to teach every thing that will be asked by the students.So he or she should be well learned in the subject and have good command on it.A teacher should be sincere in teaching the subject to the student.
