Indian classical music is a very rich and beautiful tradition of music that goes back over 3,500 years. Over the millennia, it has evolved into two distinct schools – the Hindustani school, which is prevalent in North India, and the Carnatic school, which is prevalent in South India. The two are quite similar on a fundamental level but have evolved to develop distinct styles over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Raag Hindustani website<\/a> functions as a textbook explaining all the basic concepts of Hindustani (North Indian) classical music from scratch, demonstrating through examples with notations (both Indian and Western) at each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Raag Hindustani blog, however, is for writing more freely about a wider variety of topics related to classical music in India, not limited to North Indian classical music. I hope to take up historical, cultural, regional, and technical aspects of Indian classical music for discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to read my writings on a wider range of subjects related to India (culture, history, religions, society, etc.) please check out my India Insights blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a publisher or a media house interested in working with me on a book project or on articles about Indian music or other aspects of India for your publication, please do get in touch with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I have many interesting ideas for books aimed at both adults and children on a diverse range of subjects related to India. I am also open to hearing your ideas and suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please write to me at sadhana@raag-hindustani.com<\/a> or leave a comment under one of my posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor Publishers and Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
