Since the establishment of the Mughal Dynasty in 1526, Islamisation of Indian society and culture was quickly formed, and the same was to the music. Islamic culture and ancient Indian culture were integrated, resulting in the forming of a new style of Indian music and emerging of many kinds of musical forms and genres, which enriched the treasury of Indian musical culture. Up to the end of the 16th century CE, a well-known musician, Tansen, who used to service in the Akbar’s palace, finally completed the north Indian classical music system that was inherited to nowadays.
