# Talk:Ravi Shankar

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) 

It's usually spelled Pandit and there's an explanation in this article in The Daily Telegraph. But I don't think honorary titles like this are generally used as part of the name. Given that this has been a Good Article, I'd be surprised if it hasn't already been carefully considered. Perhaps it's ok to use just in the article opening sentence and infobox, but not as the article title? Any views? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:39, 30 December 2016 (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)

That's a distinction without a difference. He's a maestro, he's regarded as a maestro. It would be puffery if he were a hack, which he's not. Binksternet (talk) 09:47, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Ravi Shankar has IMDB credits for more than 60 movies where he appeared as himfelf and few as an actor as well in other projects. Most know probably is "Ravi Shankar: Between Two Worlds" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354862/ 78.84.119.77 (talk) 13:39, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
