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)
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 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?

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)

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)
