Harmonious Narratives: Untold Stories of Ustad Bismillah Khan by Yatindra Mishra. Ustad Bismillah Khan (born Qamaruddin Khan, 21 March 1916 – 21 August 2006), often referred to by the title Ustad, was an Indian musician credited with popularizing the shehnai, a reeded woodwind instrument. He played it with such expressive virtuosity that he became a leading Hindustani classical music artist. His name was indelibly linked with the woodwind instrument. While the shehnai had long held importance as a folk instrument played primarily schooled in traditional ceremonies, Khan is credited with elevating its status and bringing it to the concert stage

🎹Raaggiri focuses on the following through this initiative- 🎶🔊

⁕ We will try to change the music in every heart into a habit.
⁕ Change music's thought process in every corner of society. 
⁕ To eliminate the social evils, dissatisfaction, and flaws in humans through music.

The Drive to create a positive society through music is RaagGiri! 
That engages everyone's life is RaagGiri! 
The hope of nation-building is RaagGiri. 

We enable classical music to give life to it. It is an effort to connect Indian culture reaching talent at every level. It has to be nurtured and promoted. That's our mission. 

Music is creation. It connects us with society and helps in bringing about change. The result of RAAGGIRI is to develop and promote all forms of music; all areas of culture and tradition, by collaborating with government-public-private organizations. Our Focus is to establish connections with the weaker, underprivileged, scheduled castes, Dalits, minorities, and physically and mentally disabled people through music, thus contributing to their progress, resettlement, and recreation. When our actions become habits, we don't need to repeatedly remind ourselves of them. Traditions are part of human nature. 

We all have rituals in life. But it isn't easy to always maintain these habits. Everyone has an aim in life but seldom do we walk the path that will take us to our ultimate destination and fulfill our purpose. And this becomes all the more challenging when our goal is to change the existing norms and bring about social changes to improve the current situation; when we choose the path of creation.
