Also interesting are the viewpoints of people who commented on one article I read. Some criticizing him for studying with a Muslim (not being trad. “Indian” enough), for incorporating Western influences into his music (ditto) and another one saying only Muslims go to heaven (Shankar was Hindu.)

Sheesh. And I thought he was a universally recognized and revered master. :rolleyes:

I would say rest in peace, but rather I hope he is up there incorporating sitar music into the heavenly choir!
