Hindustani Music (హిందూస్తానీ సంగీతం)
— North Indian classical music; distinct from Carnatic (south); developed 13th-16th c. CE under Persian-Hindu fusion; Sufi influence. Origin: shared Vedic root with Carnatic, but absorbed Persian ghazal + Sufi qawwali + Mughal court patronage. Father of Hindustani: Tansen (1493-1586) — court musician of Akbar; one of Akbar's 9 Navaratnas; Miyan Ki Todi raga named after him; legend: rains came when Tansen sang Megh Malhar; fire when Deepak raga. Forms: (1) Dhrupad — oldest, most austere; (2) Khayal — modern dominant 18th c.; (3) Thumri — semi-classical light romantic; (4) Tappa, Tarana — fast, rhythmic; (5) Bhajan, Ghazal, Qawwali — devotional/Sufi. 10 Major Gharanas (musical lineages): Gwalior (oldest); Agra; Kirana (Sawai Gandharva, Bhimsen Joshi); Patiala (Bade Ghulam Ali Khan); Banaras; Jaipur-Atrauli; Mewati; Rampur-Sahaswan; Bhendi Bazaar; Indore.

Concept of Time-of-Day Ragas — different ragas appropriate dawn-noon-evening-night; emotion-time correlation. Major raagas: Yaman (evening peaceful), Bhairav (dawn), Bhairavi (any time, deep), Bageshri (late night), Malkauns (night meditation), Bhupali (gentle), Hamsadhwani (joyful). Pakistan-India bond: Mehdi Hassan + Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan ghazal-qawwali legends. Modern fusion: AR Rahman, Pandit Hariprasad with rock, jazz.
