Residents of the Bhirung Raul Ki Gall, where Ustad Bishmillah Khan was born on March 2|.
1916. were in shock. His cousin. 94-year -old Mohd Idrish Khan had tears in his eyes.
Shubhun Khan, the care-taker of Bismillah?s land, recalled: ?Whenever in Dumaraon. he
would give rupees Iwo to the boys and rupees we (0 the girls of the locality
He was very keen to play shehnai again in the local Bihariji?s Temple where he had started
playing shehnai with his father. Bachai Khan, at the age of six. His original name was
Quaniuruddin and became Bishmillah only after he became famous as a shehnai player in
Varanasi. His father Bachai Khan was the of?cial shehnai player of Keshav Prasad Singh,the
Muhziraja of the erstwhile Dumaraon estate, Bismillah used to accompany him.
For Bishmillah Khan. the connection to music began at a very early age. Byhis teens. he had
already become a master of the shehnai. On the day India gained freedom? Bismillah Khan.
then a sprightly 3] year?old, had the rare honour of playing from Red Fort. But Bishmillah
Khan won?t just be remembered for elevating the shehnai from an instrument heard only in
weddings and naubatkhanas to one that was appreciated in concert halls across the world. His
life was a testimony to the plurality that is India.

mm itling for some ()0 family members took its toll during his later years.
