Music Scholarships In The Name Of AR Rahman!

“A R Rahman” is popular not only in India but overseas too. Recently, the music legend presented the scholarships named after him to three students at the Berklee College of Music. When he was asked about this, the legend was quoted saying, "I think it's a new beginning for many things to follow. I've always been wondering why is it so difficult to learn Western music here. So by this initiative many doors are going to open, many musical leaders being born who can put the knowledge of Western music and the whole infrastructure could even spread the Indian music to a wider extent. I hope it expands amazingly well.” The Berklee College has been operating for seven decades. Rahman received an honorary doctorate from the college in 2014. When Rahman was asked about the scholarships, he said, "Knowledge can change everything. These three going there and coming back with so much knowledge, not only in music, but culture and your minds will get opened. Hopefully, they'll come back and make a difference." When he was inquired about the non-popularity of Indian music in Western countries, Rahman said "It is the duty of every kind of artist to make any kind of music beautiful.
