(Many have called Malkauns 'the King of Ragas'.) Raga Malkauns is an example of a type of Raga that is particularly suitable for singing compositions imbued with Veer Ras such as Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s bani. Babu Rajab Ali originally frpm the village of Sahoke near Moga was the un-crowned king of Kavishari. Originally started in Malwa, this tradition of Punjabi poetry and singing has spread throughout Punjab although the majority of the Kavishar(s) to this day have been from Malwa. The people who write and sing Kavishri in Punjabi melas, diwaans, mehfils, weddings, ect., are called Kavishar. In the Malwa region of Punjab, the 'chhandd-band' (rhymed on meter) Punjabi poetry which is sung in loud, fast, yet stretched voice without any musical instruments (somewhat similar to tarannum) is called Kavishri. There are innumerable songs, poetic compositions called kavits and the on-the-spot compositions of Kavishris in praise of an individual or an event that are sung under this genre.

Songs of the Veer ras flavor are the ones most commonly sung today. These are hasya ras (comic), shant ras (quiet), verag ras (mystic) and veer ras (heroic). There are nine accepted rasas or flavours of singing, out of which four are prominent.

Kavishri performers sing about historical events in the form of poetry. It is an energetic and very dynamic style of singing where the singer's gusto and enthusiasm compensates for the lack of any musical instruments. Bir Ras or Veer Rass or Heroic Flavour of Singing is one of the prominent features of the singing tradition called Kavishri, a style of (marshall) singing which was developed by Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
