When Shankar was 10, his father and brother left India to live in Europe.
In 1930 he moved to Paris to be part of his brother’s musical troupe and moved back to India eight years later to begin his formal training.
In 1949 he moved to Delhi to become a music director of All In India Radio and continued to travel back and forth between India and the West.
He held this post until 1956, during which time he founded a national chamber orchestra called Vadya Vrinda – an Indian ensemble with a few extra western stringed instruments.
In 1966, Harrison befriended Shankar and began to take lessons from him and the latter’s protégé Shambhu Das.
This association catapulted Shankar to international fame.
The Beatles’ guitarist then went to India for six weeks.
The visit proved a rude introduction to celebrity for Shankar.
