Indian rock is a music genre in India that incorporates elements of Indian music with mainstream rock music, and is often topically India-centric. While India is more often known for its (northern and southern) classical music and Bollywood filmi music, the Indian rock scene has also produced numerous bands and artists. There are also various non-resident Indians who have formed bands rooted in Indian culture.

the first swift kiss
of the spring-sun’s white, incandescent breath,
I’d seek
you flowers.”
