Who among the following musicians was awarded India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1999?
Pandit Ravi Shankar
The correct answer is Pandit Ravi Shankar.
Understanding the timeline of these awards helps in remembering the facts. Subbulakshmi was the first musician to receive the Bharat Ratna in 1998, just the year before Pandit Ravi Shankar. Lata Mangeshkar, the legendary singer, received it in 2001. This context highlights the significant period around the late 1990s and early 2000s when music pioneers were recognised with the nation's highest honour.
