A. R. Rahman(OSCAR Winner 2009)

"I find we are living in such violent times that it becomes almost necessary to break the clutter, to get associated with products that can offer hope, that can offer a sense of melody…a harmony.

Every time I create a melody I wonder if there is a way this song will reach out and prevent a bloodbath.

Compare that to our leaders, who hope that a whole state burns for their cause. While using music to achieve this might seem idealistically simplistic, in Rahman’s words : It is, but you see, music is all that I know.

He sure makes a mark as a person, even if you are not influenced by his music."

This is AR Rahman,first indian composer to win two OSCARS in a row and still appear so calm and down to earth. Many people criticised the film"SLUMDOG MILLIONAIR" for portraying India in a negative light. But Rahman is without a doubt is a winner.

In a very humble way he expressed his opinion also"In my opinion if creative people want to comment on a film, and if I were a director and felt that way, I would make another film and prove my point and say this is what India is about," Rahman told The Associated Press in an interview from Los Angeles before returning home to work on film scores before participating in the Feb. 22 Oscars awards show."
He is the person whose work speaks for him.
