🎵 ABOUT USTAD BISMILLAH KHAN
Ustad Bismillah Khan was an Indian musician credited with popularizing the shehnai, a reeded woodwind instrument. He played it with such expressive virtuosity that he became a leading Hindustani classical music artist.
His fame was such that he was selected to perform for the ceremony at Delhi’s historic Red Fort as the Indian flag unfurled at the hour of India’s independence on August 15, 1947. His music was played on television every Independence Day.
In 2001, Bismillah Khan was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour.
