Answer to Question 1

 Monsoon is an innovative East/West fusion band formed by Indo-pop musician Sheila Chandra, Steve Coe and Martin Smith
 Chandra has explored a synthesis of world vocal traditions often set against electronic and acoustic drones.

Answer to Question 2

 Examples may vary. Introduction by sitar playing raga-like scale in unmeasured time; sitar re-appears later in the song; continuous background drone (on tambura and bass guitar); tabla drumbeat with tala-like cycles; and Harrison's Indian vocal sound. (Now that you studied about India and listened to Indian music, try to find a recording of Love Me To and identify the Indian musical elements for yourself.)
