Ramzan Khan, popularly known as Munna Master, is an Indian singer and social worker who sings Bhajans (devotional songs) and takes care of cows.[1][2] He hails from Jaipur district of Rajasthan. He was conferred with Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award in India in 2020 for his contribution to arts.[3]

Life[edit]

Khan came to limelight for his dedication to cows and Krishna-bhakti after a controversy erupted over the appointment of his son, Feroze Khan as an assistant professor at Banaras Hindu University's Sanskrit Vidya Dharma Vigyan Department in November 2019. He holds a degree of Shashtri in the Sanskrit language.[4] He has authored a book, Shri Shyam Surabhi Vandana.[5]
