The concerts were held at 2:30 and 8:00 pm on Sunday\, 1 August 1971\, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The concerts were followed by a bestselling live album\, and a concert documentary\, which opened in cinemas in the spring of 1972. \nA Bengali by birth\, Ravi Shankar was deeply concerned by the plight of the cyclone- and war-ravaged people of East Pakistan during the first six months of 1971. To help raise funds to try to alleviate the misery\, he turned to his friend George Harrison\, then within six weeks\, Madison Square Garden in New York was booked for two UNICEF shows on Sunday\, 1 August; Western stars such as Eric Clapton\, Bob Dylan\, Ringo Starr and Leon Russell had pledged to be there. The shows were organised to raise international awareness and fund relief efforts for refugees from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh)\, following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide. \nVIRIYA SAWANGCHOT\nA cultural researcher based in Bangkok\, Thailand.
