I have the honour to present to
you Ustad Hafiz Ali Khan, an
artist of outstanding merit in the
field of instrumental music of the
Hindustani School. In recognition
of his outstanding merit,
which is too well known to call
for a detailed statement, the
Sangeet Natak Akadami has
elected him as a Fellow of the
Akademi and I pray, Sir, that you
may honour him by handing
over to him an Angavastram and
a Sanad as token of his
Fellowship of the Sangeet Natak
Akademi.
