[INDOLOGY] Classical Indian musical theory

[Lubomír Ondračka]

A perfect bibliographic tool on Indian music is the entry "Hinduism and 
Music" by Eben Graves in Oxford Bibliographies Online:
https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780195399318/obo-9780195399318-0158.xml

Of the many introductory books, I can recommend two in particular:

1/ Emmie te Nijenhuis, Indian Music: History and Structure, Leiden: 
Brill, 1974 (a bit dense)
2/ Bonnie C. Wade, Music in India: The Classical Traditions, Englewood 
Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, 1979

Best,
Lubomir
