History of Hindustani music

The first three swaras evolved from Rigveda and Samaveda which were written almost 5000 years back. Post 200BCE, when Natya Shashtra emerged as the first treatise on dramaturgy, Bharata defined srutis and determined the makeup of a kutapa as two singers. These concepts which were outlined thousands of years ago provided the foundation from which all Indian music grew. As Muslim influence swept across Indian subcontinent in the medieval times, traditional style met with Persian influence and thus hindustani style was born.
