raja_fan himself is one who can be termed as hardline hindu fanatic (My observation through his rants and reviews). Its not surprising that he comes up with such obscure links to defame ARR.

Religion is the last thing we want to come down in this topic. I think its better we focus on our own music if not what Maddy has been saying that ARR features more than IR here is being proven right. :banghead:

Talking about national award, forget devar magan, which person or jury managed to ignore guru(malayalam),hey ram, kalapaani? When these films can get ignored then its surely politics.

As expected, the actual purpose of the event was rather eclipsed by the joy that was brought by Rahman’s double Oscar victory. Speaking at the function, Balu Mahendra reminisced about the first steps of Rahman into the music world. He recalled that he was the chairman of the jury deciding the National Awards in the year when both Roja and Devar Magan were released. He was in mental turmoil when both the movies were neck to neck when it came to the award for best music. Since he was a very close friend of Ilayaraja, he decided to stay away from the jury because he felt that his friendship might prevent him from making the right decision. But as fate would have it, the ballot by the rest of the jury turned out to be a deadlock and it was up to the chairman to bring in his casting ballot. It was a tough decision to make, but he put his trust in God and cast the vote in favor Rahman, hoping to spur the young man on to greater heights. Today, he said, that his 16 year old decision stood vindicated.

BM was responsible for giving away the National award to Rahman instead of Raaja.
At first I was digusted at the 'Karugaalithanam' of BM... Few seconds later it gives me immense pleasure to understand him - What a noble gesture by Balu Mahendra! he should have known DM was musically superior to Roja (Apart from the friendship with Raaja) and still gave away the award :thumbsup:

...and Raaja had maintained his friendship with BM till date shows the amount of maturity he has and the degree of importance to an award he gives.

This adds on to my respect over Raaja and shows what his fans should take from his life. What I said yesterday is validated now 'Its afterall an award'. So stop whining kids and move on... :)

This explains the character of IR as well as BM. I am sure after taking that decision, BM would hv informed IR about it. Has IR or BM opened their mouth about this for last 17 years, never.

Who else is the best person to understand IR other than BM, so what he had done was right in his point of view having known IR for more than 2 decades. (Ofcorse BM was/is well aware that these national awards matter nothing to IR). On the other hand as plum put it optly, any other jury in his place would hv done the opposite, but as it turned out to be BM was/is friend of IR , he decided otherway.

A wonderful case of reading in between the lines and completely misinterpreting and deviating from a simple point. I am amazed that so much can be read into a very neutral statement of choosing love over hate. For everything we do, appreciate or denounce, there has to be a religious angle, despite the person in question being non-controversial and peace-loving person (every musician is... not just this guy. everyone who makes music usually seeks peace without hurting religions.even IR). I am sure this writer will not spare even Yesudas, if Yesudas says that he led a peaceful way of life ( this author will then read it as - That means a Non-christian will not lead peaceful way of life, which is like an attack on Hindus... How mean!! ). So instead of Love/hate dialogue, he should have said Vandemataram.Ya,it is immaterial if he said/sang vandemataram 1000 times in many places, but the author has a problem with he not saying vandemataram there! what next? Maniratnam was not thanked there?

raja-fan, honestly speaking, i felt that the author thought far too much into simple things and tried to take out something unintended.

And Really sad that there are perspectives like these too. No wonder, Indians enjoy blame-game, when it comes to religion, which infact is or rather should be very personal to everyone. and does the author know atleast that the person he was talking about did compose some beautiful 'Hindu' bhajans (or say Hinduism filled songs). How can someone do that if he Hated it?

anyways, this post itself is irrelevant here. My reply even more is.But just couldnt help responding, looking at the mind of the author and the thoughts he put across.

Enakku therinju, he used the phrase "Enakku therinju" before saying this. Illainaalu, this might well be a statement of fact.

Looks like Gulzar had nice time experimenting with words while working with IR for the movie "SRK":

CR, ok, andha interview paarkama naan pesaradhu thappu. But since I am discussing with you, and we know that we have not marked our positions and sticking to it come what may, I want to understand this further:
1) Avaru, "naan ipdi ellam pandren, ennai yaarum recongize pannalai" apdingara maadhiri pesinara?
2) Illaina, "naan ipdi ellam panninaen. Ipdi vera endha payalayavadhu panni kaatta sollunga paarpom" apdindra maadhiri pesinara?
3)Or, was it plain "Naan ipdi ellam panninaen. Enakku therinju idukku munnadi yaarum ipdi pannalai" apdi sonnara?
4)Or was it "Naan ipdi ellam panninaen. Nichayama, idukku munnadi yaarum ipdi pannalai." apdi sonnara?

Enakku purinjavaraikkum, i don't think it is (1)!

Bottom line, do you get what i mean and why i mentioned about the interviews here?
