Abstract
The typical folk song is strophic: the tune is repeated several times with successive stanzas of a poem. Tunes may have from two to eight lines, but most often there are four. The musical interrelationship among the lines is describes as the form. Although many form types are used universally, each culture favors certain ones. Folk-music of India adheres to monophonic structural system. According to scales of modern raga modes, the classification of music will prove more suitable.
Ancient music and folk-music are based on their respective techniques, derived from elementary methods of formative processes of the general system easily explainable through Indian musicological principles. It is true that connecting links between folk-tunes and ragas have not been properly established as yet. And these features are important facets of this discipline.
The history of ragas can be traced down to middle ages, fifteen hundred years back from the present century. During the course of its development for all these years the raga music, which is the Indian official music, has undergone a series of structural changes, and its current form is not more than six hundred years old. The continuous incorporation of several tribal and folk musical forms in its list has been a striking feature. When folk-music took a natural shape in the practical field, Indian musicologists stared talking about reformed local melodies.
