Anoushka Shankar is playing at the big Live Earth concert in India on 6th December. It's being webcast worldwide and looks like it's going to be a really big event. As this is only a couple of days after her Indian dates with Tull it might be worth keeping an eye on this just in case Tull or Ian play with her.
Here's the gumph:
