“Music is the moonlight in the gloomy night of life.”

John Paul Friedrich Richter

India has a wide range of music genres because of the rich diversity in culture and heritage which gives us a plethora of music genres including pop, Bollywood, classical, rock, lofi, and others. Indian music has a long history that has been fostered and interwoven, which is why it has such a diverse foundation. In India, music has played a significant role in both social and religious life.

Sound, silence, and peace make up music. The history of the Indian music business may be traced back to the time of Hindu mythology, when the universe’s first sound, Naadbrahma, was first heard. Another theory argues that the Tandav of Shiva and Onkar is where sound and music first appeared. Narada brought lovely music from heaven to the ground through these idols.

Indian music has a long history that dates back to the Vedic era. The oldest known instance of Indian music is found in the Sam Veda. The Samgana, which was actually singing poems in musical patterns, descended from the Sam Veda. After this time, the musical style altered and the epics began to be told in a musical language known as “Jatigan.” Panini mentioned music for the first time in 500 BC, while Rikpratisakhya mentioned musical theory for the first time in 400 BC.

Since people lost their riches and possessions with the arrival of the British in India, the art world experienced a collapse. The entirety of Indian music fell out of favour, while newer media started to appear. Since the advent of television, western culture has begun to influence Indian music. Pop, hip hop, jazz, and other genres all began to flourish around this time. In addition to these western musical styles, traditional Indian musical genres including Khayal, Ghazal, Geet, Thumri, and Qawwali have also made an appearance in modern music.

India owns music for the masses. It is for a reason why the world loves our culture and finds it to be the sweetest and most welcoming. Our music is one that can bind every soul in the world.
