68 years ago, Indians were hardly allowed to open their mouth while facing an Englishman as India had fallen into the clutches of the British. After all these years, at the 69th Indian Independence Day Anniversary, a proud Indian would not only open his mouth but also make thousands of Britishers dance to his tunes.
Conducting a concert on August 15th at The O2 Arena in London, two time Oscar winning musician AR Rahman will wave his magical wand to cast a spell in an attempt to capture thousands of British people. Unlike them, the Mozart of Madras would only be capturing their hearts.
Though it is a proud moment for each and every Indian, a question might pop up in your head as you read this article; is it appropriate for a patriotic like Rahman to perform in a place like London while our country celebrates its 69th Independence Day?
While a single person cannot decide if this act by India's most famous musician is right or wrong, it is our responsibility as a nation to voice out our opinion.
