The Music of India provides us with a short but detailed explanation of the musical forms to be found throughout the sub-continent. It deals with each raga in the greatest of detail giving us the basic scales and notes employed in their composition with clear notation for easy comprehension. Their genealogy and origins have been carefully elucidated with detail and precision. The technical chapters explain the raga and tala systems, the numerous instruments from North and South are described in detail with the help of excellent line drawings, and the glossary of terms illumines the subject in an interesting way.
