It is pertinent to mention Rabab is a string instrument, similar to the lute. It is quite popular in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Kashmir.
“Here’s a gift for my viewers across the border,” Siyal Khan tweeted.
“Happy Independence Day, India. I tried the National Anthem of India as a token of friendship and goodwill for Peace, tolerance and good relations between us,” Khan wrote in a separate tweet.
The gesture was appreciated by people from both sides of the border. Social media users also lauded the beauty of the instrumental.
Music has no language or religion..It touches hearts and connects people..
Respect & Blessings for you..
