He is widely known as Chanchal Khan in the music arena, especially for his singing, and research in the field of music and society. His music genre is primarily songs of Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European Nobel laureate in literature (1913). His extensive journey in the development sector was possible through his engagement with the United Nations system; the Australian government; and bilateral and multilateral agencies, such as the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, UK Aid, European Union, and a few more. His passion for music, art and language brought him close to nature, and to people with many faiths, languages, and ethnic backgrounds. The COVID-19 crisis has been a great source of sadness for him after losing at least a dozen of his close friends to the pandemic in many parts of the world, including singers, actors, and writers. Mak (Chanchal) Khan writes regularly in his professional work; however, this book is his first attempt of its kind.view less
