Hey /mu/ do you consider Indian Ragas classical? If you saw

They are classical but they are different than western classical music. I don't know if it would be appropriate to rank them among western classical composers because to my knowledge ragas are often improvised, similar to jazz, but I don't think that discredits them from being classical, because relative to the cultures that birthed them they are still classical. They also had a big influence on western composers (like Terry Riley and La Monte Young, for example).

But some people may understand it better than me.
