'''Indian music''' is one of the major microtonal traditions of the world (along with the [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Middle Eastern]] family of traditions). It has two main subcategories: South Indian music known as Carnatic and North Indian music known as Hindustani.

The unit of measurement in the Indian system is the '''shruti''' (sometimes spelled śruti, sruti or shruthi), which corresponds roughly to a quarter-tone. There are 22 shrutis per octave, 13 per fifth and 9 per fourth. A size of 4 shruti for the major whole tone follows from that. The step sizes of the heptatonic scales ([[shadja grama]], [[madhyama grama]]) are given as sequences of 4, 3, and 2 shruti.
