Sargam (from SA-RE-GA-MA), a technique for the teaching of sight-singing, is the Hindustani or North Indian equivalent to the western solfege.

Each of the other five notes, Re, Ga, ma, Dha and Ni, can take a 'regular' ( shuddha ) pitch, which is equivalent to its pitch in a standard major scale (thus, shuddha Re , the second degree of the scale, is a whole-step higher than Sa), or an altered pitch, either a half-step above or ...
"In essence, this money has been stolen from all of us for all these years," said an 84-year-old woman whose late husband's Social Security benefits were slashed. "It's not fair."
It also introduced sargam solfège (or solfa), the singing of the first syllable of the names of the musical notes, as an aid to learning and performance.
