well then the easiest thing to do is go get a Danelectro pedal called "Sitar Swami", but ive seen both bad and good feedback about it.

These guys aren't very helpful, tune from lowest to highest, D A D G A D. There's many forms of the open D tuning, but this is a good one Jimmy Page used on Black Mountainside off of Zeppelin I. Great tune to inspire you, if you've ever heard it. For an Indian type style, I, as a bass player primarily, use an open string for a drone. I like D the best, so I'll strike the open D string and let it ring while playing other notes, or just hit it along with every note I play. If you want eastern scales I could provide you some, but it may be over your head. Helps it you play fretless because then quarter and half tones are available to you, which are a big part of Indian music.

If you're meaning Chinese music or something, you're out of luck. I can't stand Chinese traditional music, and wouldn't know how to begin emulating it on guitar.

Chinese music has weird scales, I'm sure there's a webby somewhere that would show you them.
