The Anna University honored A R
Rahman by conferring a doctorate
on the master musician on Saturday
at a function at the Madras University
Centenary Auditorium.
Speaking in this function, Rahman
said that he has been avoiding attending
functions in Tamil Nadu keeping
in mind the pathetic living conditions
of the Sri Lankan Tamils. The Mozart
of Madras though was confident that
the Sri Lankan Tamil issue will
be resolved amicably.
The Oscar winner further added that
he was invited for a number of felicitation
functions soon after he received
his Oscar, but did not take part
in any function. He also apologized
for hurting the sentiments of the
organizers but was firm on his stance
not to celebrate when his fellow
human beings were suffering in the
island nation.
