How does Bismillah Khan's story redefine Indian tradition?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: As a living force growing through practice, not a fixed object

The governing concept is living tradition: inherited culture remains meaningful when artists practise it deeply and allow it to develop. Bismillah Khan was rooted in the musical and cultural traditions of Banaras, yet his rigorous riyaaz and exceptional performances expanded the role of the shehnai. The instrument became respected as a serious classical voice rather than being viewed only through its earlier ceremonial associations. Option A is correct because it presents tradition as continuous, active, and capable of growth through devotion and creativity. Option B freezes tradition in the past; C treats heritage as an obstacle; and D incorrectly labels an Indian musical achievement as foreign. Khan’s story shows continuity and renewal working together.
