yeah, very interesting. this has been discussed before: ([Indian Scales](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/indian-scales/1690)). as a musician of indian origin who is a big fan of scaler I would also love this feature but it would be a big undertaking to do right!

indian music and scales are not a homogenous entity and there are huge differences between Carnatic music and hudistani music for example.

technically part of what makes indian music so special though is the microtonal notes/double flats.

here are some examples of Carnatic scales transcribed into western notation ![ananth-carnatic_raga_chart1](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/images/transparent.png)
