Note
Indpaedia believes that this is a complete, exhaustive list of all Indians and people of Indian origin who have won or been nominated for a Grammy award.
Three of the winners/ nominees are from the Shankar family.
It would be a pleasure to include Norah Jones, but it is not certain if Miss Jones would want to be included.
