Pandit Ravi Shankar is a renowned Sitar maestro, Ustad Bismillah Khan is synonymous with the Shehnai, and Ustad Zakir Hussain is a legendary Tabla virtuoso. These artists are instrumental in promoting Indian classical music globally, each holding prestigious national honors including the Bharat Ratna.
All three artists are recipients of the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, which was established in 1954 under Article 18(1) of the Indian Constitution, which prohibits titles but honors civil contributions.
Pandit Ravi Shankar received the Bharat Ratna in 1999 and is credited with popularizing Indian classical music in the West.
Ustad Bismillah Khan was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 2001 and performed at the Red Fort on India's first Independence Day in 1947.
Ustad Zakir Hussain was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 2023 and is widely recognized for his contributions to both Indian classical and world fusion music.
Pandit Ravi Shankar was a disciple of Ustad Allauddin Khan of the Maihar Gharana.
Bismillah Khan is credited with elevating the Shehnai from a ceremonial instrument used in temples and weddings to a classical stage instrument.
Zakir Hussain is the son of the legendary Tabla player Ustad Alla Rakha.
Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they misalign the musicians with their respective instruments, failing to recognize their lifelong mastery of these specific classical forms.
A is correct тАФ A-2 (Ravi Shankar-Sitar), B-1 (Bismillah Khan-Shehnai), and C-3 (Zakir Hussain-Tabla) represents the accurate professional association of these maestros.
When studying Art and Culture for exams like UPSC or SSC, always link major musicians to their specific 'Gharana' (school of music), as questions frequently ask for these associations alongside their primary instruments.
