Answer to Question 2

 Over the centuries foreign cultural ideas and technology have been manipulated and absorbed into a new and undeniable Indian synthesis.
 As a British colony (17^th century - 1947), European musical instruments such as the violin, harmonium, and clarinet were adapted to Indian musical styles.
 Globalization and instant communication have allowed Indian musicians to become familiar with music from all over the world including Western art music and American popular music, in addition to continuing to introduce various non-Indian musical instrumentsthe saxophone, mandolin, and various electronic instrumentswhich have been adapted to Indian music.
