Read: Notes from behind a locked door. An ode to Annapurna Devi, Pt Ravi Shankar's ex wife.

Madhu Kishwar tweets: Can't think of Ravi Shankar without remembering how he destroyed music career of his wife Annapurna dtr of his guru Ustad Allauddin Khan. Annapurna believed to be far more talented than Ravi Shankar. He's reported to have battered her into giving up music. She became recluse. People say once Ravi Shankar dragged Annapurna with such violence from a performance that he broke her arm. She never performed after that.
