He was the nephew of Ravi Shankar,he died in 1999 after a Realworld album recorded with The State Of Bengal,with accompanying concerts,in 1988.Check out his version of 2Light my fire" and "Helter skelter" a very zonked out version of The Beatles - it's not often you hear the line "I've got blisters on my sitar!"
Is he a son of Ravi Shankar ?
