Ustad Allauddin Khan, also known as Baba Allauddin Khan (c. 1862 – 6 September 1972)[1] was an Indian sarod player and multi-instrumentalist, composer and one of the most notable music teachers of the 20th century in Indian classical music.[2][3][4] For a generation many of his students, across different instruments like sitar and violin, dominated Hindustani classical and became one of the most famous exponents of the form ever, including Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan.
He is believed by some to have lived to the age of 110, although the conjectural birth date of 1881 is more likely
