[edit] Gross Errors

There also seems to be no mention of the Dhrupad style of singin which came prior to the khyal style the four styles in dhrupad viz the Baanis ' the Dagar , he Khandar The Guahar and the Nauhar baani

There are some serious errors, but I am adverse to editing them because I would not know how to concisely explain some of the concepts which deserve full pages unto themselves.

There also seems to be useless information such as "..the audiences applaud.." This may or may not true, and is not related to the dogma of Indian classical music. Jor movements sometimes have tabla accompaniment, but nothing to that effect is noted.--Gautam3 05:05, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

What's the deal with these errors? Who has/is changing them? Please discuss your changes here, since its a very controversial topic to write about Gautam ^Discuss 18:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The list of exponents of classical music given in both the genres seems biased heavily towards vocalists... and towards musicians of the later part of 20th century... for example, there is no mention of bade ghulam ali khan.

[edit] Duplication

We really don't need this; all the information here is already in Music of India and Carnatic music and/or Hindustani music. No use lumping all of Indian classical music into one page. If necessary we can have a History of Indian music page.--Siva 22:26, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think it makes more sense to have a page which lumps all Indian classical music together, treating it as a valid "classical" tradition, the distinction of which has been clearly commented on by musicians such as Ravi Shankar, than one which lumps all poo Indian music together.

I would suggest all of the content regarding classic music from Music of India be moved to Indian classical music with at most one to three sentences summarizing differences and proving the link to this article.

Ideally, however, we would be more than capable of writing articles which examine the same topic from multiple angles with little redundancy. Hyacinth 22:36, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I want this page, it is easily found from the Hindu Music page which allowed me to easily find stuff. I don't want some massive article that is hard to find the information I need 70.69.161.130 17:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kundalini

Is Indian classical music necessarily (or at all) connected to the discipline of Kundalini? I think the relation is not important enough for 1st paragraph mention. I hesitate to edit because I know little about Kundalini.--Elliotb2 14:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger is Justified

Since 'Carnatic Music ' site states that it is the music that started through-out India during Vedic period, it should be merged with 'Indian Classical Music' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.55.122.99 (talk) 16:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
