The Indian subcontinent is what represents Indian classical music. It has two major traditional styles that make up the genre, the first tradition being the North Indian tradition of classical music known as the Hindustani and the South Indian expression known as Carnatic. However, they were not distinctive forms of musical traditions before the 15th century.

The Mughal Rule of the Indian subcontinent caused the respectful genres to separate and evolve into different forms of music. The Northern tradition honours improvisation and exploration of all aspects of a raga(a melodic improvisation/framework), whilst Southern traditions tend to be short composition-based. Despite these stark differences, there are still many ways in which these two systems have more similar and common features with each other.

The very roots of classical music from India are found in Vedic Sanskrit literature of Hindusim and the classic Sanskrit text on performing arts. The Hindustani music style is mainly found in North India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. But has also had Arab and Persian music influences, including the start of new ragas and the development of instruments such as the sitar and sarod. The instruments most used in the Northern style of classical Indian music also include the surbahar, esraj, violin, table, santoor, sarangi and more.

The Carnatic music style from Southern India comparatively is far more rhythmically structured and intensive than the North. Their elaborations are typically faster in tempo and a lot shorter than their equivalents in Hindustani music, and utilize the use of fixed compositions that are similar to that of Western Classical music. Whilst Carnatic compositions seem to have notated lyrical poems, primary themes that include worship, depictions of temples, philosophy and more, it is a common belief in South India that the music represents a more ancient approach to classical music. In contrast, Hindustani music has evolved by external influences.
