Bismillah
Khan
Ustad Bismillah Khan (21 March 1916 – 21 August 2006) (born as
Amiruddin Khan), often referred to by the honorific title Ustad,
was an Indian musician credited with popularizing the shehnai, a subcontinental wind instrument of the oboe class. While the shehnai had long held
importance as a folk instrument played primarily during traditional ceremonies,
Khan is credited with elevating its status and bringing it to the concert stage.
He was awarded India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 2001, becoming the third classical musician
after M. S. Subbulakshmi and Ravi Shankar to be accorded this distinction.
Childhood
& Early Life
·
Khan was born on 21 March 1916 in a family of traditional Shia Muslim musicians in Bhirung Raut Ki Gali, Dumraon, in what is now the eastern Indian state of Bihar, as the second son of Paigambar Baksh Khan and
Mitthan.
·
While named Amiruddin at birth his grandfather Rasool
Baksh Khan exclaimed "Bismillah" and thereafter he came to be known
by this name. His father was a court musician employed in the Dumrao
palace by the Raja of Bhojpur. His great grandfather Ustad Salar Hussain Khan and
grandfather Rasool Baksh Khan were also musicians in the Dumrao palace.
·
His ancestors were court musicians and used to play in Naqqar khana in the princely states of Bhojpur, now in Bihar. His father was a
shehnai player in the court of Maharaja Keshav Prasad Singh of Dumraon Estate, Bihar.
·
At the age of six, he moved to Varanasi. He received his training under his uncle, the late Ali
Baksh 'Vilayatu', a shehnai player attached to Varanasi's Vishwanath Temple.
Career
· Khan
was perhaps single-handedly responsible for making the shehnai a famous classical
instrument. He brought the shehnai to the center stage of Indian music with his
concert in the Calcutta All India Music Conference
in 1937. He was credited with having the almost monopoly over the instrument as
he and the shehnai are almost synonyms.
· Khan
is one of the finest musicians in Indian classical music. He played the shehnai
to audiences across the world. He was known to be so devoted to his art form
that he referred to shehnai as his begum (wife in Urdu) after his wife
died. On his death, as an honour, his shehnai was buried with him.
· Khan
had the rare honor of performing at Delhi's Red Fort on the eve of India's
Independence in 1947. He also performed raga Kafi
from the Red Fort on the eve of India's first
Republic Day ceremony, on 26 January 1950.
· His
recital had become a cultural part of India's Independence Day celebrations,
telecast on Doordarshan every year on 15 August.
After the prime minister's speech from Lal Qila (the
Red Fort) in Old Delhi, Doordarshan would broadcast a live performance by the
shehnai maestro. This tradition dated from the days of Jawaharlal Nehru.
