The Vice President of India, Shri M. Hamid Ansari released a book entitled “Bismillah Khan : The Maestro from Benaras” based on the life of music legend and Bharat Ratna Late Ustad Bismillah Khan authored by Smt. Juhi Sinha at a function to celebrate his birth anniversary here today.

Addressing on the occasion, Shri Ansari said that the book mainly focuses on three aspects viz. (i) On Late Ustad Bismillah khanji, (ii) On the city of Benaras and (iii) On the cultural roots of Benaras which gets reflected through Benaras to the entire nation . Congratulating the author, he said that such type of a book was very much needed and so many music lovers will learn a lot from this useful book.

The book gives an insightful look into the home and heart, muse and music of one of the greatest artists that India has produced. It traces his journey from the small town of Dumraon to Benaras and thence to the world. It follows him as he grows from child to man, shagird to ustad and pupil to legend. It lovingly potrays the whims and foibles of Bismillah Khan – an artist, whose stature as a musical legend could never quite overshadow the wit, humour and charishma of the man.
