Ofcourse, I am all for carrying on a healthy discussion. And we do. I think, it may be true for people who grew up with lot of pop music, that IR music did not appeal and ARR could be one of them. I remember sometime back ARR acknowledged IR by giving him an ornament in a public function. There are different kinds of people.
Some people praise everyone.
This they do to remain in the good books of everyone. For example, Rajini will praise even Deva for some lifted tune. Whatever ARR thinks of IR, IR's music is not going to change. IR's work is the testimony to his talent. It would be best if we would not react to such things.
