Undoubtedly, Bismillah Khan was a true Indian. Despite being a devout Muslim, he used to play shehnai in temples. He loved his country very much. When one of his students asked him to head a shehnai school in the USA, he refused to say he would not find the river Ganga there. He once said that whatever he was out of India, he kept on yearning for his motherland and missed the Ganga sorely.

On getting Bharat Ratna he said that the parents of the country should teach their children music and supported it by saying that even the West was coming to learn it. He was the true representative of India and the Core Indian values. Simple living and high thinking have been India's age-old value which he kept with himself. He never believed in the glamour and the words of artificiality. He always believed in simplicity which is an epitome of Indian civilization.

Hence, he was a true Indian.

yearning - desire, wish

simplicity - purity

glamour - beauty

The lesson is about Ustaad Bismillah Khan. He was a renowned shehnai player in India. He is a legend because he did something which has historical significance. He played the shehnai on the day India got independence i.e 15th August 1947. At the Red Fort, before the Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru gave his speech. Before that Bismillah Khan played the shehnai in order to signify something auspicious. Something auspicious for the whole country was about to happen - India was about to get freedom. And so, on that occasion, Bismillah Khan played the shehnai and so, he is a legend.
