Internationally acclaimed music composer A R Rahman says the way certain intelligentsia is protesting against the growing state of intolerance in the country is “poetic” as it is non-violent in nature. The Oscar and Grammy winner feels any kind of revolt is welcome but it should be classy and people should not go out and hit one another.
“Everything should be done classily and any kind of revolt should be classy. I think it is very poetic what people are doing rather than hitting each other,” Rahman said in an interview on the sidelines of NFDC Film Bazaar. The 48-year-old music director says India should set an example to the whole world as this is the land of Mahatma Gandhi, who championed the non-violent movement in India. When asked if Muslims are unsafe in the country, he said, “I am not in the state of mind to answer this question.”
