This seems to go further than just instruments. Years ago, an Irish anthropologist did studies and concluded that a fair dergree of early Irish music was structurally similar to Indian music. He stated you could hum a number of different Irish folk tunes to certain Indian populations and the Indians could finish it! One thing for sure, The Celts sure got around. The civilizations of Galatia (Turkey) , Gaul (France) and Galicia (spain) all contain the root “Gal” or “Gael” and indicate Celtic settlement at one tme.

And, the Celts crossed out of Central Asiia, a lot longer ago than this.

IIRC there are some who think the Celts originated in asia. There are native populations in what are now Tibet and Nepal that have curly red hair and freckles as a known genetic trait.

All of the Indo-European groups originated in central Asia.

India 2000 years behind Western countries? Sounds about right. When will archeologists discover indoor plumbing in India that resembles a Western precursor? In 200 years? 300? ;-)

Notice how the previous two posts can be spoken in the Indian sing song way or the Irish brogue and still sound natural and convey the point.
Civilizations have been melding for millennia.

No one captured the melding of civilizations better than Kipling.

Funny, just yesterday I was speaking if how the Indians are emulating American motorcycle culture on British designed bikes.

Makes sense to me.
I play in a Celtic group, lived in Ireland as a kid, etc.. I found playing my fretless bass along with ragas to be pretty natural. The western 12 notes to the octave is merely a convention, not an absolute.
