In recognition of her artistry and musicianship, the British Parliament presented Shankar with a [[House of Commons Shield]] in [[1998]]. She is the youngest as well as the first female recipient of this high honor. In February 2000, Shankar became the first woman to perform at [[The Ramakrishna Centre]] in [[Calcutta]]. The Indian Television Academy, Asmi, and ''India Times'' chose her as one of four Women of the Year in India in 2003. In 2004 she was chosen as one of twenty Asian Heroes by the Asia edition of ''[[Time magazine]]''.

Her [[album]] ''Rise'' was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Contemporary World Music category. This was Shankar's second Grammy nomination. She also became the first Indian woman to perform at the [[Grammy Awards]] when she performed during the pre-telecast ceremony of the 48th awards.
