genres as each culture evolved independently. Hindustani spread in the northern regions of India

where the Mogul empire thrived and ruled while the Carnatic spread in the Southern areas where

the Empire did not conquer (Ahmad, 2). While they are different, however, both sub-genres trace

their roots to the Raga Sangeet system that existed for over 2000 years before the invasion of the

Indian by Moguls. Unlike western music, Raga is primarily based on melody (known as ragas)

the Hindustani genre can be traced further to the initial contact of India with Turkish invaders,
