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. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 17:59, 3 May 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Hi. With regards to : 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. external sources mention his KBE. Thanks, --]'''''<small>]</small>''''' 23:20, 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. ] (]) 23:50, 12 December 2012 (UTC) |

Misplaced Pages policy recommends recent pictures but this should not apply for people who are no more living.

:I think the image you have now added is a better one. But I'm not convinced by your home-spun advice regarding "rock or movie stars". All this, however, does nothing to lessen the sharp contrast between the dubious quality of the few images we have available here and the wonderful collection published, as a worthy celebration, by the DM. ] (]) 16:23, 11 June 2013 (UTC) |

In the fourth para of this section, there's a mention of Howard Worth's ''Raga'' being filmed during George Harrison's visit to India in Sept–Oct 1966; that's supported by a NY Times ref, which I'm not able to access. Would be good if someone could check perhaps, because I've always understood it that ''Raga'' was filmed mainly in 1967–68. In his autobiography, George says he was meant to join Ravi in the south of India after The Beatles' (well, him and Lennon) left Rishikesh in April 1968 (i.e., two Indian trips later); but George got dysentery, which is why his scene with Ravi had to be shot later, at Esalen in June '68. Having said that, this is only the Harrison side of things – perhaps shooting did begin in 1966?) Also, might be worth mentioning that Harrison salvaged the project (by offering Apple Films and producing the soundtrack) in late 1970, when the original backers pulled out? Howard Worth's very generous about this, from memory, in a . (It's a long clip, but lovely if you're in the mood – and have the time.) ] (]) 14:04, 27 February 2013 (UTC) |

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)
The Daily Mail is usually spurned as a source here, but the range and quality of the images they have used in their article here is quite something: . Almost worthy of adding as an external link. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:57, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

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)
I see that material by Hans Neuhoff was removed and then readded. I would leave this material out since Hans Neuhoff is non notable. --Malerooster (talk) 14:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
