68
years
ago,
Indians
were
hardly
allowed
to
open
their
mouth
while
facing
an
Englishman
as
India
had
fallen
into
the
clutches
of
the
British.
After
all
these
years,
at
the
69th
Indian
Independence
Day
Anniversary,
a
proud
Indian
would
not
only
open
his
mouth
but
also
make
thousands
of
Britishers
dance
to
his
tunes.
Conducting
a
concert
on
August
15th
at
The
O2
Arena
in
London,
two
time
Oscar
winning
musician
AR
Rahman
will
wave
his
magical
wand
to
cast
a
spell
in
an
attempt
to
capture
thousands
of
British
people.
Unlike
them,
the
Mozart
of
Madras
would
only
be
capturing
their
hearts.
Though
it
is
a
proud
moment
for
each
and
every
Indian,
a
question
might
pop
up
in
your
head
as
you
read
this
article;
is
it
appropriate
for
a
patriotic
like
Rahman
to
perform
in
a
place
like
London
while
our
country
celebrates
its
69th
Independence
Day?
While
a
single
person
cannot
decide
if
this
act
by
India's
most
famous
musician
is
right
or
wrong,
it
is
our
responsibility
as
a
nation
to
voice
out
our
opinion.
