This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:

Two Birthplaces?

Intro paragraph says he was born in Narail, which is in present-day Bangladesh, while in the Early Life section it says he was born in Benares, a city in India. I think the fact is that his father was from Narail, and the family was living in Benares at that time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.242.217.46 (talk) 17:59, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Pundit

The name should be Pundit Ravi Shankar, that is how he is known. There is hardly anybody who ever knew of him as just Ravi Hsnakar (There may be thousands of Ravi Shankar at any given time) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.251.14 (talk) 10:32, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

It's usually spelled Pandit and there's an explanation in this article in The Daily Telegraph. But I don't think honorary titles like this are generally used as part of the name. Given that this has been a Good Article, I'd be surprised if it hasn't already been carefully considered. Perhaps it's ok to use just in the article opening sentence and infobox, but not as the article title? Any views? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:39, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Anoushka--absurd statement

The article says: "After separating from Kamala Shastri in 1981, Anoushka Shankar was born to Shankar and Sukanya Rajan."
How could Anoushka Shankar have separated from anybody before she was born? Uporządnicki (talk) 19:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Now says "After Shankar separated from Kamala Shastri in 1981, Anoushka Shankar was born to Shankar and Sukanya Rajan", Anoushka's birth is given as 9th June 1981, if you are understandable trying to gloss over a little hanky-panky in the man's life, which is not relevant to his artistry only to a gossip mag , why not remove the whole statement altogether? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.206.106 (talk) 15:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

No, it was a grammar point. The way the statement was written, it said that Anoushka separated from Kamala Shastra before Anoushka was born. Of course it should have said Ravi separated from Kamala. But it didn't. It said Anoushka was born after ANOUSHKA separated from Kamala. Uporządnicki (talk) 13:53, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

"sitar maestro"

Is "sitar maestro" actually used as a title, and not just a description or part of an introduction? If not, the statement in the lede that those words often precede Shankar's name are puffery and should be rephrased to simply state that he is (or is regarded as) a maestro. 73.149.246.232 (talk) 00:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

That's a distinction without a difference. He's a maestro, he's regarded as a maestro. It would be puffery if he were a hack, which he's not. Binksternet (talk) 09:47, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
