Introduction to Indian Music

Twenty centuries ago, the essential role of music of India was deemed to be purely ritualistic. Music as entertainment is supposed to have evolved much later. Another part of Indian music is folk music. Indian classical music is said to have evolved out of the mixture of these. It is presumed that folk music existed long before the Aryans came to India, the Dravidian's having their own. The art of music practiced in India has a special significance, as it has developed from the ritualistic music in association with folk music and other musical expressions of neighbouring nations, developing into its own characteristic art. Matured through ``thought, experience and expression'', Indian classical music has become unique in the world.

TRADITION OF MUSIC

The music of India is a pervasive influence in Indian life. It pervades the big and small events of Indian life, from child birth to death,

Duniya mein is tarah main, rihaayash-pazeer hoon,
Theraa ho jaise koi,  kisi ke makaan mein...........

दुनिया में इस तरह मैं , रिहायश -पज़ीर हूँ , 

ठहरा हो जैसे कोई , किसी के मकान में... 

अदम 

ye jo patthar hai

Ye jo patthar hai , ye aadmi tha kabhi ,
isko kehte hain intzaar miyaan !

ये जो पत्थर है, ये आदमी था कभी , 

इसको कहते हैं , इंतज़ार मियाँ....
