“Indian classical music appeals to people of refined sensibilities who’re capable of understanding the depths of these harmonies,” says 
Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan. Concert halls from Delhi to Dallas fill up for masters of Indian music. Both Hindustani and Carnatic music employs an array of instruments. The Indian musical tradition has been passed on through generations from guru to shishya. It has been dominated by a handful of families. But individuals have made their mark too, such as Shubha Mudgal. She says, “While serious students of music still learn under the guidance of a guru, there are also modern designer-gurukuls set up by musicians often with corporate funding." Classical music is among our most prized treasures. Trends come and go; the fan-base for India’s classical music survives.
