Pandit Ravi Shankar, the brilliant sitarist, has done a signal service to the country by carrying the banner of Indian music across the world. He has done more than any other musician to arouse the interest of the westerners in Indian music, thus earning himself, the title, ‘India’s musical ambassador’. Born in Varanasi in 1920, Ravi Shankar began as a ballet dancer with his elder brother Uday Shankar’s troupe. But he left the troupe to learn the sitar under Ustad Allauddin Khan of Maihar. He underwent rigorous practising for nearly eighteen hours a day to gain command over the instrument. Ravi Shankar toured Europe and America in the 1960’s, where he gave several sitar recitals. He has composed tunes for light music, choral singing and orchestra. The popular tune of Saare Jahan Se Achchha was composed by him in 1945. He composed music for films like Meera, Godaan and Anuradha. His long list of awards includes the Padma Vibhushan, the Magsaysay Award (1992) and the 1998 Polar Music Prize considered the Nobel Prize of Music. In 1999 he was awarded the Bharat Ratna.
