Bollywood music is definitely a big part of Indian music and can be a great way to introduce people to the sound. But I hope to continue to incorporate other types of Indian music into my work.

A. R. Rahman

Be proud that thou art an Indian, and proudly proclaim, "I am an Indian, every Indian is my brother." Say, "The ignorant Indian, the poor and destitute Indian, the Brahmin Indian, the Pariah Indian, is my brother."

Swami Vivekananda

Indian music is brilliant and for me, anyway, (this is only personal) it's got everything in it. I still like electronics and all sorts of music if it's good but Indian music is just... an untouchable you can't say what it is, because it just is.

George Harrison

I want to get rid of the Indian problem. [...] Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian Question and no Indian Department.

Duncan Campbell Scott

I love all kinds of Indian music, and Indian food as well. If the chance arises for me to play in India, I'm there.

Yngwie Malmsteen

A lot of Indian musicians settled abroad are fusing Indian music with reggae which I find very impressive.

Liz Mitchell

I gravitate to rhythmic music, so I listen to jazz, world music, Indian music, Hawaiian music, all kinds.

Brian Stokes Mitchell

It's great to see Latino music coming to the mainstream, but at the same time, there are also a lot more styles to explore: African music, Indian music, Chinese music.

Jonas Blue

My career means, if you're a non-Indian writing about Indians, at least there's one Indian in your rearview mirror.

Sherman Alexie

The food we ate was Indian, and both my mother and father were very deep into the ancient philosophy of India, so it could well have been an Indian household.

Amar Bose

Non-Indian writers usually say "Great Spirit," "Mother Earth," "Two-Legged, Four-Legged, and Winged." Mixed-blood writers usually say "Creator, "Mother Earth," "Two-Legged, Four- Legged, and Winged." Indian writers usually say "God," "Mother Earth," "Human Being, Dog, and Bird."

Sherman Alexie

I had an Indian face, but I never saw it as Indian, in part because in America the Indian was dead. The Indian had been killed in cowboy movies, or was playing bingo in Oklahoma. Also, in my middle-class Mexican family indio was a bad word, one my parents shy away from to this day. That's one of the reasons, of course, why I always insist, in my bratty way, on saying, Soy indio! - "I am an Indian!"

Richard Rodriguez

Timbaland uses a lot of Indian music and that has certainly familiarised me about the music of India.

Chamillionaire

The Indian music scene is completely dominated by Bollywood music. We need to create space for indi-pop music.

Yo Yo Honey Singh

There is no essential difference between classical and popular music. Music is music. I want to communicate with the listener who finds Indian classical music remote.
