The history of sarangi is very short because, though it is called as 'Saurangi', an instrument of a hundred colors, no work was actually done to bring out the many colors of this rich instrument as it always remained in the background in a very limited capacity. Its only use was as an accompanying instrument for the dancers and singers, while entertaining their customers. So it remained downtrodden for several centuries so much so that it had a stigma attached to it and Sarangi player could not command any respect in the society due to his association with Sarangi.
