---- Hindustani Classical Music is the Hindustani or erstwhile North Indian style of Indian classical music. Originating in the Vedic period, it is a tradition that has been evolving from the 12th century AD, in what is now northern India and Pakistan, and also Bangladesh, Nepal and Afghanistan, and is today one of the two main parts of Indian classical music, with the other one being the Carnatic music, which represents the music of South India.

Hindustani classical music is primarily vocal-centric, insofar as the musical forms were designed primarily for vocal performance, and many instruments were designed and evaluated as to how well they emulate the human voice.
