When a journalist asked him if he had heard of the works of A.R. Rahman and Ilaiyaraja, he shook his head cluelesslysaying, "I really don't know them."

But I have earlier come across some comments of Zubin on IR's "How to name it". Is it fake..???

For guys who really don't know who is Zubin,

Zubin is a very famous western classical music director, conductor, expert etc who is respected world wide. He is basically an NRI with origins in Mumbai. He has to his credit of leading and conducting world famous symphony orchestras like New York Symphony orchestra, Israel philharmonic orchestra etc..

Shankar,

Please note my first line "For guys who REALLY don't know who is Zubin"

I am not able to believe that he doesnt know IR as IR was the first Indian to compose a symphony.. IR is well known in Germany.For that matter ARR is even more famous with his collaborations with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and LOTR project... Truly unbelievable... He must be suppressing the facts

music man,

"IR was the first Indian to compose a symphony"

Correction : IR was the first Indian to compose a symphony for RPH, London.

I dont think Zubin is such a silly person to suppress the facts. But it is still very surprising ! may be he is so engrossed with his own busy music works or world ??
