Yes this is a surprising coincidence, but there were TWO Ravi Shankars. Ravi Shankar, the subject of this page, and the famous sitarist, died on the 11th December, 2012, aged 92. The other one - Ravi Shankar Sharma - died on the 7th December, 2012, aged 86. He too had had a long career in music, as a film composer.
In his message of condolence concerning the death of Ravi Shankar, the President of India used the verb “to condole” in a way it cannot be used. To say “has condoled the passing” is incorrect English. Similarly, article text that reads "His death was condoled by" is incorrect. I suggest this be revised to "Condolences have been extended by".

I added this as a record label after noticing it in the External links section, but it makes sense that he recorded on todaw
other record labels, regardless of which act on the CD, I just don't have time right now so, in case I can't address .--Leahtwosaints (talk) 13:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Transmigration Macabre
In the absence of any article for it, I tried to add a mention of the 1973 soundtrack album Transmigration Macabre which is already included in the discography, thus: . But this was rapidly reverted with an edit summary “rm content without reliable source”. I had thought discogs.com was an uncontroversial source here. I wonder if anyone could provide a better source (or indeed could provide any more information about that obscure UK film “Viola”)? Could the album sleeve notes themselves be used as a better source perhaps? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:06, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
The album is the 1973 Spark Records SRLM 2002. The sleeve notes (uncredited), on my copy, say "Shankar composed Transmigration Macabre for the British art film Viola which tells of the growth and eventual victory of a possessed man's belief that his dead wife has returned to life in the form of a cat that pursues him. The music traces his emotional turmoil as the man, dominated by his wife during her lifetime, struggles against her baneful influence after her death." The sleeve also credits the film producer as R. Davies, but I can find no trace of him here, or even on the net. I have added brief details at the Shankar discography. Perhaps that's all that's needed. Or perhaps the album deserves its own article? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:38, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. With regards to this edit: does it matter that he did not use it? He still had the title. And also, what evidence do we have that he did not want to use the title? As far as I can see e.g. here external sources mention his KBE. Thanks, --Mark91it's my world23:20, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
He has so many titles, we would have to list his honorary doctorates, which are actual titles, and, because they much higher honors and from his home country, maybe list him as Padmavibhushan Ravi Shankar or Bharatratna Ravi Shankar (the Bharat Ratna even puts you in the order of precedence). When I google "ravi shankar kbe", the honorary knighthood mention of the UK Parliament is about all that pops up and the recent obituary flood does not appear to mention him as a KBE but mentions title separately if at all.
