Brothers Rajan and Sajan Mishra only started singing as children because they were bribed with sweets by their uncle. They grew up to be renowned singers of the khyal style of Indian classical music. "Indian classical music is for worship and divinity" says Rajan. "We have been taught to go deep into our music and leave our evil behind."
