Religious politics don’t seem to be leaving the pride of India and double Oscar winning music composer AR Rahman in peace. Recently, a Mumbai based Sunni Muslim group, Raza Academy, issued fatwa against AR Rahman for composing music for the Iranian film Muhammad The Messenger of God.
Yesterday, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) said that Rahman, who was once a Hindu with the name Dileep Kumar, converted to Islam due to financial reasons. VHP further stated that Rahman should make a ‘Ghar Wapasi’ (converting back to Hinduism) and that he will be welcomed to Hinduism in a grand way by all the Hindus in the country.
And now, Raja Singh, the BJP MLA from Gosha Mahal in Old City, Hyderabad, has added fuel to the fire as he said that the VHP must put efforts in bringing Rahman back to Hinduism. Raja Singh has a history of extreme right wing activities and he also initiated the Gau Raksha Andolan.
However, Raja Singh’s comments on a peace lover and a humanitarian like AR Rahman have caused a huge stir, and all the diehard lovers of Rahman’s music have been pleading the religious fanatics to leave Rahman in peace ‘for god’s sake’.
