please go and listen to Rahman to understand his music, the sufi love of his tunes that has given purpose and hope to many across the globe, will give u peace and you wont write such nonsense about Rahman ever! all the best.
rather not give a second look...this is the 'mulla' of the extreme right but of the Hindu terrorist kind. An Indian given nominations for excellence in his field must be appreciated...perhaps it's coz the receipient is Muslim that the Hindu Mulla took a pot shot...at the other religions as well. This is what you all are...Hindu bigots
Cheapness of awards is exposed. AR Rahman is a musician without any merit, originality. It is all propaganda and media work along with political string work. For exapmle, everyone knows Nobel Prizes are a sham. One should not give a damn to such cheap awards of Christians who themselves are cheap copy of Judaism.
I don't know why people like you exist. Is your sole purpose of existence to write comments like this? AR is undoubtedly a legend who has proved his talents to a world audience. He has millions of fans and the world is noticing it. Probably you shake your disdain figure to his e tunes. Go back to your room and play with the toys mommy gave you.
AR deserves grammy, as he is a global player now..best of luck to the best composer of the world.
