Anuja thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise on the beautiful music. Someday, when i have finished learning some other languages, i will learn the hindi language and then i will learn all about hindi music. Much love from Sweden❤️
The guest speaker is incredibly talented.ur videos are a window to the depth of our music and point to the vast sea of culture nurtured by a nation over many millennia.

11:56 this sounds so much like Spanish flamenco (it makes sense since gypsies are actually originary from Nothern India as far as I know). It's wonderful to hear this and feel the similarities, the essence... like feeling a cousin. Thanks so much for sharing. Greetings from Spain!!
We the viewers are getting introduced to so many nuances of indian music... you are a very good teacher... i wish the episodes were a little longer incoporating more information and examples...just can't get enough of the lovely lessons you give us
Exactly .....wonderful differences between Hindustani and Carnatic music ......I'm learning Carnatic music and nitya mam and anuja u both r really excellent .....
Great comparison. I am glad Nithya picked up Carnatic Thodi for demo here as it is so quintessentially Carnatic in flavour and this helps to show the difference in the two systems very clearly. Apart from the kampita gamaka in Ri and Da, the gamakas for ga and ni come in many varied forms and practically define this raga.
Anuja u r doing a great job for the present and future classical music lovers. i take u as a prominent classical music teacher of this age. u r a born music teacher. peace be on u.
It is good that you have thought it fit to bring out a programme on two systems of classical Indian music. Most people in India have an impression that they are separate like its dances, architecture, etc, which in fact is not true. If one cares to study and understand a bit deeper, it would be sen thst they have a common origin. I was just in search of such a programme, being interested the history of Sanatan or Indic culture, popularly known as Classical Hindu culture ,which includes its dance, music, architecture, clasical language literature , Grammer,i iconography etc. Right now, I have dusted to read the book - The Wonder thst was India by A.L.Basham, an eminent historian. Thank you for filling a gap. But the only regret is thst the duration of programme is only around 13 minutes, which is too short to cover such a vast subject. So I would look forward to a much wider version in future.Thank you.
Been too late to be here.. Well this was the most beautiful episode with Mam Nithya Rajendra.. Even if series might have been ended long before.. Kudos to you Anuja for connecting to me with our roots...
Such a clear exposition of the differences between Carnatic and Hindustani music. A treasure of a resource for students and connoisseurs of Indian music alike. Thank you!
Superb Conversation! So enlightening indeed! Watched it with my young son. He too was watching intently & understood most! Our wonderful classical music systems demystified to a lay man!
Carnatic Raga Todi is Hanumatodi the 8th Melakartha which shares with Bhairavi in Hindustani. Hindustani Raga Todi shares its equivalent as Subhapantuvarali the 45th Melakartha ragam.
Wonderful, Anuja! Very clarifying explanations in a simple and modern language. Also a very rich material about an extremely rich culture! Keep posting, please!

I am enjoying the series of videos. In this one, considering that this is an introductory presentation, the first half has too much terminology and too little demonstration. The second half has a much better balance. Thank you!
Just chanced upon this series yesterday. Already watched 7. It's so interesting that I'm going to watch the entire series. I have no training in music, but I do listen to both Hindustani and Carnatic music. I go for concerts regularly and this series will help me enjoy the concerts even more. A big thank you 🙏
I am some six and a half years late but glad ran into your videos Anuja ji. I never heard of Nithya ji until today. Thank You for introducing her, such a talent. I wish Nithya ji had done full time music. Anuja ji; I am sure you enjoyed as much as I did, starting with Aalab till the Bhairavi end. Pure education. Thank You both. God Bless.

I think people have already commented on the usefulness of your series. I would like to add that you are an amazingly wonderful and talented presenter !
Thank you for creating this episode (and the other ones too!). I enjoyed it thoroughly. On the question of "how one differentiates between a Hindustani and Carnatic concert", yes you could look the accompanists and the language and so forth. But several modern-day musicians are known to mix them both, for instance tablas are popular in Carnatic and if it's not a vocal concert there is no language involved! Are there other differentiators between the two styles? One is, for example, the use of gamakas in Carnatic -- you don't have so many of them in Hindustani.
bitchesbrew Thank you for the comment. Well, if you see tabla in a carnatic concert, please note that you have most probably entered a 'fusion' concert hall. Tabla and Mridangam are the authentic and originally used instruments for Hindustani and Carnatic music respectively. Yes, gamakas. But the common public might not able to distinguish between them. However with a little experience of listening to concerts of the two genres, one shall easily be able to recognize the difference :)
73 thousand had watched this video before i did! Extremely well thought out video. I have some hearing knowledge of carnatic music and lot of interest to know more and curious about Hindusthani! This video enthralled me and convinced me its reasonable for people like me to exist because there are learned like you both who offered what i needed! Thank you and keep doing good work like this. God bless!!
Nithya's ma'am's renditions were beautiful.. literally gave me goosebumps.. Anuja you're doing a great job..thanks for all the insightful videos and you've picked up all basic essential topics which a person in the music field must be aware of.. so thanks a lot..
आपके कतृत्व को सलाम , बहुत ही अच्छा काम आप कर रही है , क्यु की बहुत ऐसे विद्यार्थी है की उनको संगीत शिखणे की लिये अच्छे गुरू नही मिलते , और बहुत तैयारकलाकार है ओ शिखाते नही
Thanks for the video, its helpful to developing a taste for the Indian classical music. Enjoyed the carnatic singing by Nitya, the subtle variations of it. Thanks once again to both of you.
mam, you have mastered English language as well as the indian music. you also have pleasing personality. you also have capability to explain and teach in a understandable manner which is batter for beginners.
I loved the previous episode about the ornamentation..It actually increase my understanding of Hindustani music..Thanks a bunch for that.. Iam looking forward for more episodes like this where you elaborate about them .I would really appreciate that Cheers!!
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I read your "About"' section on your RUclips and I honestly love what you do!! In this video, her singing is so beautiful, and the whole vid helped me write a paper about the differences between the two styles :) Thank you very much for what you do, you are an amazing person!
Excellent explanation which I am eager to learn, as I sing without this knowledge. Pls continue this extraordinary work in the field of music for immense satisfaction of all. All the best. !
+Anuja Kamat thank you very much for this fine introduction which is to me something from a foreign world - being used to the delights of western classical music for 75 years. What counts to me is the influence of music on the emotions or psychic. If you follow the requiem of Brahms in German language you will not be able to give applause to the musicians. You are so deeply touched in your soul by the essence of this spiritual music that it takes sometimes many minutes to enter the normal consciousness and to talk. Same is with songs containing a prayer or thanksgiving to the ever gracious Divine. You are so much moved by listening or singing that tears of joy are coming. Is that so with Indian music ? Johann Georg Blomeyer
Yes, it does. Indian Classical music (vocal/instrumental) does stir your soul. While Indian Classical music does not involve an orchestra, it is mostly played solo or duet, it lacks the 'awe inspiring' scale, but it does make it up for that by melody. A really sad piece can bring tears to you (esp. with an instrument like Saarangi or Shehnai).
What an amazing informative video.. ☺️🥰 and the guest speaker was also so talented and melodious ☺️🥰.. am so happy and blessed to see this video. I would request you to please share the name of the guest speaker 🙏☺️
Hi Anuja, I love your interpretation and explanation of the Hindustani classical theories !!! It would be great if you can come up with a small video on the different ornamentations in classical singing like the differences between gamak, sangathi, murki and the like 👍👍👍
thanku madam it understand me for indian culture or as upsc ias syllabus iam so curious about it i waiting ur next vidio on hindustani music forms dhrupad,thumari etc
Hare Krishna Anuja Kamat, Since you are coming with wonderful episodes, I would like to add that this music has originated from the spiritual world. just we heard from this episode Madam was singing about Kanha.... But who is Kanha? He is Krishna who appeared 5000 years back. These songs were sung by the gopis to give pleasure to Kanha.
Great going my dear friend. your episodes are very nice. I have seen tabla being used in a carnatic bajan singing along with violin. I think it is rather a hint for identification.
Thank you so much for doing this series! I have learned a lot but to be honest I get a little lost with the jargon sometimes. Still, I think viewing them a few more times I'll get more:) I wonder if you could address the idea of improvisation. I thought that there is more improvisation in Hindustani than in Carnatic. On the flip side of that, how much of what we hear is scripted, I don't think I hear much that is the same when I listen to different performances of the same Rag. One other thing that I am curious about is the drone that is always present. What role does it play in the music? Clearly it is important because I've never heard Indian classical music without it. Keep up the good work! I'm learning a lot!
isaacc7 If you are not clear about these then this particular video may be beyond your level (of course you can still enjoy it and learn from it). First of all lets cover the drone. All indian music is monophonic, i.e. it consists of a single melody line with no harmony. A single melody line, with no harmony, can sound very `empty` or thin. The purpose of the drone accompaniment, the tanpura is twofold. First of all it provides that sonic richness, those overtones that sometimes combine to create a kind of `harmony` that is unique to both forms of Indian classical. The second purpose is that the tanpura is tuned to the main notes of the Raag and some intervals of those notes so that the artist can identify and pick up their sound from there. The second purpose makes the drone very useful, the first makes it essential. As for improvisation, I do not know that much about Carnatic music except the basics but I would not say it has less improvisation. In fact its beautifully explained in this very video. Even though a Kriti is a fixed composition, a Carnatic performance has opportunities for improvisation that match up pretty much exactly to hindustani counterparts. For example, Raga Alapana is about the same thing as Alaap, just in a different style. Kalpanaswaram is the exact same as Sargam etc. Even hindustani music has fixed compositions, the bandish etc. On the other hand it is true that hindustani music is less rigid. More improvised is probably inaccurate as that depends on the performance, performer and piece. More improvisational in character seems the case to me.
Personally, I prefer your explanations rather than the guest's ones just because they are brief, systematic and precise. No need to say that the guests are extremely talented, though... Thank you!
Thanks for broadcasting the essential information about indian classical. You are preserving the culture. Just take care of subtitles.. They are not inline with what you are talking....
Watch Anuja's face while the guest speaker is singing, she's enjoying it so much.
Thanks for your video. I teach classes about music from around the world, and I use your videos in my course. -Los Angeles, California, United States.

You should have done or do an episode on basics of Sufi Music (ghazals, qawallis and the likes) and it’s relation viś-a-viś Hindustani music..

thank you very much for this fine introduction which is to me something from a foreign world - being used to the delights of western classical music for 75 years.
What counts to me is the influence of music on the emotions or psychic. If you follow the requiem of Brahms in German language you will not be able to give applause to the musicians. You are so deeply touched in your soul by the essence of this spiritual music that it takes sometimes many minutes to enter the normal consciousness and to talk.
Same is with songs containing a prayer or thanksgiving to the ever gracious Divine. You are so much moved by listening or singing that tears of joy are coming.
Is that so with Indian music ?

While Indian Classical music does not involve an orchestra, it is mostly played solo or duet, it lacks the 'awe inspiring' scale, but it does make it up for that by melody. A really sad piece can bring tears to you (esp. with an instrument like Saarangi or Shehnai).
Excellent class, thankyou so much.

beautiful presentation and thanks for elaborating the concept between two major stems of indian classical music

Hi Anuja, I love your interpretation and explanation of the Hindustani classical theories !!!
It would be great if you can come up with a small video on the different ornamentations in classical singing like the differences between gamak, sangathi, murki and the like 👍👍👍
excellent explanation ... gave best clarity about hindustani and carnatic music :)
thanku madam it understand me for indian culture or as upsc ias syllabus iam so curious about it i waiting ur next vidio on hindustani music forms dhrupad,thumari etc

Great singing; Great demonstrations.
Hare Krishna Anuja Kamat,
Since you are coming with wonderful episodes, I would like to add that this music has originated from the spiritual world. just we heard from this episode Madam was singing about Kanha.... But who is Kanha? He is Krishna who appeared 5000 years back. These songs were sung by the gopis to give pleasure to Kanha.
Songs sung by Nitya Rajendran in the video
-Rajuvedale -raag todi
-Kanha me tose haari - raag bhairav
Please have a separate video for the grandest piece of all , the RTP !! Ragam thanam Pallavi
Brilliant
Great going my dear friend. your episodes are very nice.

For example, Raga Alapana is about the same thing as Alaap, just in a different style. Kalpanaswaram is the exact same as Sargam etc. Even hindustani music has fixed compositions, the bandish etc. On the other hand it is true that hindustani music is less rigid. More improvised is probably inaccurate as that depends on the performance, performer and piece. More improvisational in character seems the case to me.
Personally, I prefer your explanations rather than the guest's ones just because they are brief, systematic and precise. No need to say that the guests are extremely talented, though... Thank you!
Ciro Mendes Thank you for the feedback! Do stay tuned :)
