AR Rahman's Wembley concert 'fiasco' reeks of ignorance, linguistic imperialism

[kvpak]

I can empathize with these Hindi speakers.

Nowhere in the program did it say Hindi concert or Hindi songs. Why did these Hin-dian idiots think it would be primarily Hindi. Bengalis did not think so. Telugus did not. Malayalis did not........

Where did you get this from? OP does not mention it.

 

[wiseone2]

bigoted Hindian-n hogwash to justify their agenda of Hindi imperialism - ARR has compose more songs in Tamil and most of his Hindi songs were recycled from Tamil hits
sample this
this Tamil movie was remade in Hindi , the same song retained by AAR
Tamil

hindi version

linking rivers is just a piped dream to fool Tamils as it will never be ecologically viable and as for infiltration of Hindi culture - Tamilnadu/Karnataka is more westernised (Hollywood, western fast food and dress) than the cow belt states and Keralites are Middle Easternised



dont underestimate Tamils and Kannadigas what they need is unity (not be a victim of India's divide n rule politics) and a mass leader , at the moment all their politicians are corrupt Hindia-n sycophants. Any sucessionist movement can be easily crashed by the world's 4th powerful army, unlike NE and Kashmir which haveChina/Pakistan/Myanmar as neigbours, TamilNadu and Karnataka are surrounded by India and the sea

telugus and kanndigas won't have anything with tamils at a political level
they march to their own beat

I do not understand why people go to listen to AR Rehman singing. He is not a great singer..

Tamilan da ....

Man. People in South practice the original form of Hinduism be it attire, music, food, architecture etc. as there was less influence of Islamic invaders.

At least when you claim to be a Tamil you should do some home work before posting crap.

teaming up with Tamils will necessarily be a political compulsion for 'their ' survival and not vice versa

This never happened when Lata or Asha sang in Marathi.

What does it say?

 

[Fireurimagination]

Stupid of people to expect all Hindi songs when the name of the event was in Tamil. It would have been better if the organizers have communicated clearly that it would be a Tamil (or atleast 50% Tamil) event.

The legendary AR Rahman, returns to The SSE Arena, Wembley, after 7 years, to celebrate 25 years since his acclaimed debut Roja.

Joined by very special guests including Benny Dayal, Javed Ali, Neeti Mohan, Haricharan, Jonita Gandhi, Ranjit Barot, this much anticipated date will celebrate the glorious journey and timeless music of AR Rahman.

AR Rahman and his team have taken time to create and perfect performances that are enriched with the best technology and production, by engineers and designers from around the world. You will experience the best lighting and visuals in a never before seen and heard London event.

Discussing his forthcoming UK show of the year AR Rahman shares: “From Roja to Rockstar, Kaatru Veliyidai and more... It has been an incredible musical journey over these last 25 years. I’ve been immensely blessed to have the love and support of my fans, music lovers, friends and well wishers. It continues to inspire and motivate me. Come, join me on the 8th of July at Wembley, London! Accompanying me are an amazingly talented and energetic team of singers and musicians.”

This show is presented by Hamsini Entertainment, UK and HueBox Entertainment, India. It is a rescheduled date so customers holding tickets need not rebook.

Damn the organizers did play a con, they promoted the event both to Tamil/Hindi audience respectively stating or hiding that it will be a mixed kind of event. No wonder people were pissed and wanted a refund.

Do tamils or other south indians join army? What is % of dravidians in Indian army?

People from south are comparatively educated and rich which compared to North.

Hence people from south do not join army like people from north do.

 

[SrNair]

Dumb people.

As usual these people always an embarrassment to entire India with their cow story and other ridiculous stuff.
If they dont like South Indian language then why should they flock in to South Indian states

South India isn't exactly USA. Only few months ago piss poor tamil farmers were protesting naked in front of Delhi parliament. Dravidians are not recruited on purpose.
