to listen to Western rap and rock
music, Indian classical music also is becoming a trend and coming
back among the people far from their native land.There are 2 schools
of Indian classical music which
are Hindustani and Carnatic.But music know no borders as music is sheer indulgence.On this page you
will see how Indian music has
adopted music styles from others too.Even from the "enemies".
Some of the instruments adopted from the West are Mandolin and Violin.The islamic style is adopted and incorporated into Bollywood

languages.It mainly uses Violin, Veena(stringed) and mridangam.Here are some examples-
