How would you create realistic sounds from India eg.- Sitar, Sarod,Tabla etc.

Depends on how you want to achieve that, synthesis, re-synthesis, sampling, physical modeling. Or, way easier, just find someone playing the instruments you like and sample him :)

it's kind of a "hey what do you want to say" post because of the breadth of the topic..

as far as synthesis, tabla are pretty easy as they are refined mechanisms to produce specific harmonics.

liqih used to have a harmonium model? i don't know if it's still available.

sitar... sitar are extremely intensive to synthesize. the characteristic sound is produced by the bridge, which contacts the string when it vibrates and shortens the length depending on the amplitude of the vibration. so to synthesize this, you need to know the length of the string before you can calculate the length of the string sort of thing ;) it's intensive, and would eat cpu cycles to emulate at any satisfying degree.

i have an unsatisfying model that pretty much sucks but occasionally sounds happy if you play the right note at the right time kinda thing..
