An upcoming tour that includes a two-show leg in India will serve two purposes for Anoushka Shankar. Primarily, the six-time Grammy-nominated sitar player and composer will mark her late father Pandit Ravi Shankar's 100th birth anniversary with a series of shows featuring artistes like Beatles member George Harrison's son, Dhani, Philip Glass, and Nitin Sawhney. It will also be a homecoming of sorts for her as she returns to India after two years to promote her EP, Love Letters. In an interview with mid-day, she explains why the tour is special.

What do you have in mind for the centenary celebration of your father's birth anniversary? Will you revive his compositions, or simply revisit them?
