You got a sitar? Cool. I wish I could help you, a sitar is one of the items on my "got to get this someday" list.
Anyway, I've been to a bunch of sites that sell instructional videos.
One thing I know is that Eastern musical instruments work by using quarter steps, not half steps. I dont know if this is the case with a sitar, but if it is, dont try tuning it to your guitar or a piano or anything. It'll be tuned wrong then.

I would just do a search on google.com for "sitar tuning", I bet you'll find a LOT of information that way.

10g's? What a gyp! I can get one from an import store up here in Canada for about $700.

Someone (Polera?) mentioned that Sitars are tuned to quarter steps, I've heard that Ronnie Le Tekro (guitarist from Finnish Rock/neoclassical band TNT) has a guitar with 1/4 steps too. Cool huh?!
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

Yeah, that was me.
Quarter steps on a guitar, interesting. It'd be really hard to finger the high frets.
