उत्तर
Indian or Hindustani music was the outcome of the fusion of the Perso-Arabic and Indian classical music styles. New musical instruments such as the tabla, sitar, and sarangi were developed during this time. “The famous Persian poet, Amir Khusrau, is believed to have invented the sitar by combining the South Indian veena with the Persian tanpura. The South Indian drum was probably altered to create the table. ‘The Persian style of chorus singing, known as qawwali, was popularized by the Sufi saints, a group of Muslim mystics who became popular during this period. They sang devotional songs at their religious meetings. Kathak, a new dance form that also developed during this time, combines Hindu themes with Persian customs.
