Anoushka Shankar - India Rising

Our first female artist to be featured on the TT captures the unique spirit of a country very close to my heart, India. They say some places on this earth can change your perspective on everything, and India is certainly that place - I think that if the same number of people in New Delhi were crammed into a similar space in London, my home town, there would be complete and utter mayhem.

However because there exists a profound kinship among Indian people, the daily hustle and bustle of getting around and being crammed 400 strong into a double decker bus, does not end with knives and guns being drawn.

In a country where the rich are super rich and the poor are devastatingly so, there is a spiritual strength that allows people to carry themselves, no matter what their circumstance, with tremendous dignity.


Anoushka Shankar is the daughter of the sitar virtuoso and composer Ravi Shankar with whom she has been playing and studying since the age of nine. She already has a highly acclaimed career, even if it is still early days for her professionally, and her music captures what I consider to be the warmth and joy India has to offer.
