The music of India is very different from western music. The main reason India's music is so different is because of the tuning system they use. Think of a the keys of the piano. There are white keys and black keys on the piano. In India's tuning system there are so to say white keys and black keys , but the main thing that is different is that there is a note in between the white key and black key. This note is called a 1/4 tone. The main instrument that can be used to hear and explain what India's music sounds like is the sitar. The sitar is a lute type instrument that uses 21 metal strings. 4 strings are played 3 strings act like drone notes and the rest are resonance strings just like a viol d amore.
I think India's classical music is some of the best music I ever heard. I hope you like it to.
