Also there is Adnam Sami who is trying hard for an Indian citizenship

Yes, a small minority indeed and it is not that Pakistan did not have people like them or better than them.
Ustad Badey Ghulam Ali Khan, very big name, but we also had Ustad Amanat Ali, Salamat Ali, Nazakat Ali, Mehdi Hassan; Ghulam Ali, Bedum Akhtar, Kajan Begum, Roshan Arar Begum etc.
Sahir was a big poet but we had bigger such as Agha Shorish Kashmiri, Qateel Shafai, Jigar Muradabadi, Habib Jalib, Hafeez Jalandhari, Ibn-e-Insha, Jamiluddin Aali, Mustafa Zaidi, Ahmed Faraz, Josh Malih Abadi, even Faiz Ahmed Faiz etc.
Qurat ul ain Haider was a good novelist, but we had Altaf Fatima, Banu Qudsia, Bushra Rehman, Fatima Surayya Bajia, Fehmida Riaz, Haseena Moin, in males, we had legends such as Manto, Intizar Hussein, Mumtaz Mufti etc.
So them leaving Pakistan was indeed a loss but it does not mean that Pakistan was not conducive for artists, and poets, and writers. In-fact, Urdu has almost gone in India and if it was not for Pakistan, Urdu as a language would have lost her identity in the subcontinent.

As if we are talking about a person of the caliber of geniuses as Rasheed Atrey, Khwaja Khursheed Anwer, Nashad Saheb, Nisar Bazmi, Suhail Rana, Khwaja Perwaiz; Pakistan has had far more talented and genius composers than Adnan Sami. These Bhartis think that because Adnan is begging for Indian citizenship he would be some super duper composer whereas he is not even a 3rd class composer when compared to people mentioned above.British Citizen .... born & raised in Britain & his farther was born in Afghanistan ....
If I am not wrong then he is citizen of Canada not Britain.British Citizen .... born & raised in Britain & his farther was born in Afghanistan ....
