PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Amjad Ali Khan

The correct answer is Amjad Ali Khan.

Amjad Ali Khan is a renowned Indian classical musician, widely recognized and acclaimed as the "Sarod Maestro". His virtuosity and mastery of the sarod, a stringed instrument, have earned him international fame and numerous accolades. He comes from a lineage of distinguished musicians, carrying forward a rich tradition of Hindustani classical music. His contributions to the preservation and popularization of this art form are significant. Unlike the other options, Bismillah Khan was a shehnai maestro, Asad Ali Khan was a sitar player and the information about RV Raghavan's specialization isn't as widespread or definitive as Amjad Ali Khan's reputation as a sarod maestro.

The other options are incorrect because they represent musicians proficient in different instruments or with less established recognition for the specific title of "Sarod Maestro". Amjad Ali Khan's mastery and significant contribution to sarod music make him the undeniable choice.
