Sorry misread anarchist 

 

Exactly, i can see someone gladly polishing British shoes and speaking Eng for the fear of the whip. While unnecessarily protesting against fellow Indians and their languages because of absense of one

Nope sorry Hindi is equal to other national languages like Assamese or Santhali.. English is a neutral language which is spoken throughout the country.

That's the worst post. Look if you hate Hindi, admit it. Long debate aren't gonna change the facts. Fact is Hindi is invaluable in our country, and it makes total sense for people to learn, and thus government to promote it.  Learn many languages as possible, government has not said no to state languages but make it includes both Hindi and English as one is needed to connect with India, other to connect with world. Don't be ignorant...

Another bad post. Understand the difference between superiority and value. In our constitution, languages are to be treated equally. However, the value in each language is set by how many know it, and thus, Hindi is invaluable for us. English is most valuable globally, while Hindi is most valuable nationally. Thus, it's complete sense to learn both languages.

* Official languages: 22 including Hindi and Eng

* Union / Central govt official languages: 2 (Hindi and English)

 

That all languages are equal is not even a point and no one is debating it

 

Of the 22 official languages, the constitution has picked Hindi and Eng as the official languages for the center to communicate within central agencies, with states, and internationally

Leaving the classification aside, Hindi is the most important language in India. You can see this by looking at how many cricketers from the south and east/west speak it. You won't see many native punjabi/gujrati/ tamil speakers speaking any other native language apart from Hindi. It's simple as that.

English is very rich language hence undoubdelely It will continue to be used as language on documents. Hindi will remain language of choice among crowd of Indians while interacting. Government just wants and will keep that way

That burnol moment

[Tibarn]

I'm not sure what newsminute is doing with that story. Why associate that with the language politics that happens in India? The concert was in the UK. Most to those people who went and wanted a refund probably only know AR Rahman from Bollywood films.

 

I agree they were dumb for not noticing that the concert's name was in Tamil, thus they should of expected Tamil language songs, and that they don't deserve a refund.

 

Also, some of those tweets are from Pakistanis/Pakistani origin people, what does that have to do with the Hindi issue in India? I'm disappointed with NewsMinute for not even fact-checking the article they made. I expected better from a media organization run by someone like Chitra Subramaniam. That goes double for TimesNow and Republic for running prime-time debates on this issue. Irresponsibly projecting Indian political issues on a crowd in a foreign country, many of whom aren't even Indian, and using that to drive pageviews and TRP 

 

From image of the tweets posted in the article, one can visit some of the twitter handles. 

If one visits the twitter handle for Faisal Amjad clearly shows he is Pakistani. The same is the case with Nazia Chishty.

Think Rahman made his name in the Tamil industry. Most of his songs early in the career were in Tamil and were translated into Hindi. Nevertheless audience has every right to be upset. The performer has the right to chose the songs. I have seen Rahman live and his concert does have a good number of Tamil songs.

[asterix]

 

Lots of Pak people in U.K. attend Bollywood related shows...They love Bollywood. On top of it they obviously like "A R Rahman" for various reasons...

 

This is the case here, majority of them didn't realise that Tamil songs could be part of the event.

Tbf London has a pretty significant Tamil diaspora (Both Indian and Srilanka ) and the name of the concert was in Tamil.

 

So doubt most went to the concert knew him only through Bollywood.Media making mountain out of a molehill based on a few tweets .

Why should they be upset ? Because they are incapable of reading basic titles ? That's A.R.Rehman fault ?

 

The name of the concert was "Netru Indru Naalai". Don't need great IQ to decipher it will be a mostly Tamil concert.

Rahman's Tamil songs are faboulous too. You don't need to know the lang to appreciate them or have a good time listening to them 

 

I listen to Middle Eastern and African songs too

Audience are upset because of their own fault here, not Rahman's. I meant it in a broader sense like a certain section always goes dissatisfied from any concert. 

 

Likewise, the performer has the choice of songs.

http://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/iifa-awards-2017-a-r-rahman-gets-encore-on-tamil-song-in-new-york/1103844

 

New York: It was an encore all the way for A.R. Rahman as he performed the original Tamil version of his “Urvasi Urvasi” chartbuster for the IIFA Rocks audience here as he celebrated his 25-year journey in the Indian film industry with a two-hour concert.

The scenario at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey was far removed from his July 8 London concert where fans reportedly walked away complaining that his performance was dominated by Tamil instead of Hindi songs.

“Once more, once more,” shouted out the fans at the MetLife Stadium, even as the clock struck 2 a.m. here on Saturday morning.

 

“It’s too late right…,” commented Rahman, but broke into the rocking “Humma humma” nevertheless.

The audience joined in as an ensemble of singers including Hariharan, Kailash Kher, Jonita Gandhi, Benny Dayal, Mika Singh and Neeti Mohan jammed it up with the music maestro on stage.

With a list of songs largely dominated by Hindi tracks, Rahman also sang around three to four numbers in his mother tongue, and the audience wasn’t complaining.

“Rahman’s performance was every bit worth it. We had no problems that he sang in Tamil because we believe one should preserve their culture,” Rajan Panda, who has been staying in New York for 30 years, told IANS here.

A Nepalese couple that has been staying here for the last 15 years also said language can never be a barrier in music.

“We enjoyed the show very much. We came for Rahman. It’s music, it’s universal… It doesn’t matter what language it is in,” Arjun Awaley, a software engineer, told IANS after the show.

Rahman kept saying “I love you friends” and “Love you too” to the crowd that swayed to, clapped to and even danced to his tracks.

Even the rain which came pouring down right before Rahman took the stage — and mid-performance too — didn’t make fans go away here.

In a silver sequinned jacket, the Mozart of Madras, who started his film career with “Roja” back in 1992, took over the stage.

His set started with instrumental renditions of his popular songs, and then came “”Dil se re”, “Nadaan parindey”, “Jo bhi main”, “Dil hai chhota sa”, “Kinna sona”, “Mangal ho”, “Agar tum saath ho”, “Tu hi re”, “Nahi saamne”, “Aye hairathe”, “Tere bina”, “Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi”, “Heer toh badi sad hai”, “Maiyya maiyya”, “Tanha tanha”, “Yaayi re” and “Sachin” — tracks either sung and/or composed by him.

The crescendo came with “Jai ho”, which had won Rahman an Oscar for the Best Original Song in 2009.

In the prelude to the culminating performance by Rahman, singers Kamaal Khan and Diljit Dosanjh took the stage to belt out popular numbers and got the audience grooving.

IIFA Rocks hosts Riteish Deshmukh and Maniesh Paul were quite a damp squib with tongue in cheek comments, toilet humour, some jokes around Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaigns and some audience engagement involving stars like Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif and Varun Dhawan.

All in all, IIFA Rocks rocked with the music, but more so once Rahman was on stage.

The event was a part of the ongoing Bollywood extravaganza — the 18th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards — which will end with the final awards ceremony at the MetLife Stadium on Saturday evening.
