I totally agree with you! I am also an ardent fan of Rahman's music, and felt the same thing about all this recent news! The movie is no doubt very good, and the music is also good, but, there have been far better works of Rahman in the past that have not been recognized. It only shows the bias the Western awards have towards Western directors. Certainly, there have been better movies and music than Slumdog produced by entirely Indian teams which have not been recognized like this.
