Bahadur Khan

Ustad[1] Bahadur Khan, a Bengali, was born on 19 January 1931 in Shibpur, Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh (then British India).

From a musical family, he was the son of the Indian classical musician Ayet Ali Khan and related to sitar player Pandit Ravi Shankar.

He also practiced vocal music and later collaborated with his cousins Ali Akbar Khan and Shrimati Annapurna Devi.

His eldest son Bidyut Khan continues to perform the sarod around the world.

[citation needed] In Bangladesh, his legacy is continued through the "Ustad Ayet Ali Khan Sangeet Niketon" (Ustad Ayet Ali Khan Memorial School of Music), a music school in memory of his father Ayet Ali Khan, at their native village Shibpur.
