		Hindustani Classical music, as I understand it, is essentially ‘period’ or ‘old world’ music based on certain principles which formalise its two basic components, viz, melody and rhythm into the ubiquitous ‘Raga’ and the cyclical ‘Tala’ respectively, providing an unshakeable frame work or given for music making.
		Hindustani art music, as it stands today is best represented by the form khayal which came into its own by mid eighteenth century when the popularity of the dhrupad form began to wane steadily after having enjoyed the status of the primary form of mainstay vocal classical music for over three hundred years.
		Indian classical music in both vocal and instrumental forms is also being freely used in them, but mostly sans its conventional context and grammar and therefore has to be appreciated as a new form separate from formal classical music.
