India has a tradition of having great musician right from antiquities. Music is present everywhere in the life and as per my understanding of human-nature relationship we have borrowed it from nature itself and adopted it.
Much soothfull and melodious classical music itself prevailed in the life of India through many gharanas. From hindustani to karnatic as well as their dialects in the regional sense with most tough like drupad or comparatively easy khayal. India is very much known internationally due to our classical music.
Our popular music borrowed some of the elements from khayal and sufisim which made them melodious , mesmerizing in nature. The "Lyrics Driven Popular Songs" 20th C is still remembered by the masses and their relevance is continued even in 21st C. These Humbleness and lyrics along with the majestic specialists who mastered themselves in singing are missing these days as they been replaced by many "generalist" one who may or may not basics of music but certainly in short term their music could "bound" you. We can count the number of melodious songs from past 10-15 years on our fingers as we never intended to listen majority of songs as mostly are "music driven songs" and lyrics are simply embedded in it so Lyrics lost its zeal these days.
Certainly as change is inevitable we probably find return of indian "lyrics driven songs" and new singers likes of kishor kumar or rafi etc which are still relevant and remembered even by those who didnt lived in their age(like me).
