There is a very good book, that Arun Apte has written, that you all should buy... so you'll understand about Indian music.
So I would request all the musicians, who are singing... words must be clear cut, and the melody must be there. Now in Indian Ragas, there is melody, but words are not important... so you enjoy the tune and everything... whether you know the language or not doesn't matter. So when you can combine melody with western music, you will see how different it will be. And this book will teach you... this is a very good book which you should have... and which you should understand that how music can cure you. I'm sure, if Inidan musicians take to western music, it will be much better than western music as it is.
