That is in the phrygian scale that is why it sounds like flamenco. Actually, much of it is gypsy style.

it is distinctly gypsy. That it is so means someone appreciated its Indian origins and transformed it into a globally appreciated artform.

I have to agree with you. As you may know sheet music was not available back in the day for Indian music. I used to work out the chords probably for about 90% of the music and pluck the notes arpeggio style .plus mandolin flavor to add some musicality to the tune with a Caribbean rhythm for flavor.
I think you will like Chura Liya . He uses the 7th chords and added a touch of the blues. I think this song is where RD Burman introduced or used guitar in Indian music.

Gypsies are our genetic cousins so Flamenco is Indian.

North Indians migrated from gypsy country in Europe and their culture is somewhat flamenco.
So, also is the dance form. Saw a two part documentary of that a few years ago.

Copied from the comments of the video.
Rajamani performs an original composition of his own, blending Indian and flamenco musical styles the Rajamani way. One can see the origins of the Roma and their history as well as the roots of flamenco dance coming from India. Rajamani and the Indian vocalist Nagavalli Medicharla sing a deeply spiritual poem of Meera (a Princess of Rajasthan India). The Indian dancer is Reetu Jain and the Flamenco dancer is Olivia Chacon. According to Rajamani, this is immigrant music of the modern-day Indian as of the immigrant music of the Roma of old, being reinvented and interpreted. It is different from the fusion music of flamenco and Indian music and dance which is so commonly done with analytical percision today by many artists who are simply well versed in their traditions through years of rigorous training. This is not fusion music. This is an ongoing journey of music,lifestyle and tradition which has a common thread of history and culture.

Stormy, the Guy on the guitar playing the flamenco style looks like the Guy playing the electronic drum and percussion from the previous videos.

Chura Liya:
Memorize the scale formulas and the chord over the scale formula and you will be able to play any of the scale or modes of the scales beginning with any note on the fretboard.
It sounds easy and it is. I never bothered with scales until about 10 years ago. It was always a bitch navigating the fret-board. If you know the formulas, the five basic bar chord shapes and their names you are done.
Hold a chord and all the scales originating on any note under your fingers in that four fret block is yours. Pretty soon the note names sticks in your head as well
It is the easiest way to cram the fretboard and create the necessary harmonic space for leads chord experimentation to shape moods etc.
