In carnatic music (the South Indian counterpart), we have the Melakarta classification... which is more complete than the thaat system vis-a-vis the 12 tone scale in western music, and it has 36*2 =72, 7 note scales/ragas. All of them have western modal counterparts and more. We also have compositions and expositions in all of the 72 and their derived/children ragas.
There are also group/permutation structures (graha/sruti bedham, i.e., base pitch shifts) to transform one raga to another. Leaving certain notes out (like having only pentatonic for example), gives rise to janya (child/originating from one of the 72) ragas.
