    ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
    The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823.

    Music runs in his genes. Rahman did not randomly pick music as a career. His father, RK Shekhar, also had a keen interest in music and even composed songs in Tamil and Malayalam.
    Mani Ratnam was the first person to spot the talent in Rahman and got him to compose the music for his Tamil film Roja in 1992. He got a sum of Rs 25,000 for the project, and he became the recipient of the National Film Award along with huge success, popularity and admiration.
    Rahman is the first Asian to have won 2 Oscars in the same year for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. The Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri recipient has also won 4 National Awards....

      @@arunbakt I’m from Tamil Nadu only. I grew up listening to Rahman. I collected all his CDs when I was young and was his biggest fan.
      Not anymore. The last great Rahman album was Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya in 2010. After that I’m not even able to remember a single tune.
      He has been surpassed in the South by Anirudh a long time ago, and his Hindi music doesn’t even sell films like they used to.
      Anyway, that’s my personal opinion. There was a time when I used to watch a movie only because it had a Rahman score. Those days are long gone.

    Personally I don't love his songs for last 10 years. Rahman's songs of 90s and 2000s had an identity. Now in the name creating something new, his songs are ordinary. In 90s when other composers were doing similiar repetitive type of songs, he used to use raags along with technology and excellent musical arrangements used to create a new sound. Now that uniqueness is lost.
