The document is a reaction paper submitted by a student named Eloisa Mae Jamoles about the life and music of Ravi Shankar. It discusses that Ravi Shankar was an Indian musician and composer who played the sitar and was described as the best known contemporary Indian musician. While the student likes the Indian musical styles of ragas and tala, they do not like the ritual of burning bodies and throwing them into rivers after death. The student also comments that Indian music is the oldest in the world but finds Filipino music to be more accurate than Indian music.
