• Use of Indian musical elements in rock/pop music; for example, the Beatles' "Love Me To" and Indo-pop fusion bands such as Sheila Chandra's band, Monsoon, or the famous, contemporary songwriter and film music composer, Ilaiyaraja, whose music often shows an eclectic synthesis of Western and Indian elements.
