Ramashreya Jha (11 August 1928 – 1 January 2009) was a distinguished composer, musician, scholar and teacher of Hindustani classical music.
His five-volume anthology Abhinava Geetanjali ranks high among the most influential works in Hindustani music.
In 1968, he was appointed to the faculty of Allahabad University and later in 1980 promoted to the position of Head of the Music Department.
This move by the university was in recognition of genuine merit because Ramrang held no formal college degrees.
[1] Ramrang died 1 January 2009, in Kolkata, India, due to complications following heart surgery.
