India's famous musician Ustad Bismillah Khan was awarded the ______ award in 2001.
Bharat Ratna
Bharat Ratna is correct.
Ustad Bismillah Khan, the shehnai maestro from Varanasi, was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in 2001 (the same year as Lata Mangeshkar).
He was the third classical musician to receive it, after M.S. Subbulakshmi and Pandit Ravi Shankar.
He had already received the Padma Shri (1961), Padma Bhushan (1968) and Padma Vibhushan (1980), so none of these was the award given to him in 2001.
