NAD Understanding Raga Music
This book is perhaps the first comprehensive guide to understanding all the aspects and finer nuances of Hindustani classical music. It is aimed at the serious listner, that is some one who may not have had any formal lessons himself in this performing art, but who, nevertheless, has picked up an initial interest on listening to classical music, and is, therefore, seeking to know more about its underlying structure, system and traditions. By explaining in a straightforward and extremely readable style, the basic features of Indian music, how time and melody are structured, the main principles of raga delineation and development, and the various genres and styles of vocal as well as instrumental performances, the book aims to enhance the serious listener's understanding of Hindustani music, and heighten his appreciation of this art form.

The Music of India
This is an attempt to bring, to bear a ''scientific'' attitude to Indian musicological problems. Tools and methods of modern science have been employed to probe into musical phenomena and Indian music history. No other term is perhaps so operatively basic as the tonic-drone in melodic music and today the tambura is the most important drone in Indian music. Importance of the emergence of the drone in Indian music history has been discussed at length, in terms of neuro-physiological dynamics.
