Chennai (Tamil Nadu): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi along with Oscar winning musician AR Rahman launched the theme song for the World Classical Tamil Conference, which encapsulates the contributions of Tamil culture and literature at an event in Tamil Nadu's Chennai city. Explaining the central message of the song, Karunanidhi
said all persons are equal by birth, and therefore, should live as one race. Karunanidhi
also said that he had devoted himself for nearly 70 years to the promotion of
Tamil language. Pointing out that the song would popularise the Tamil meet, he
said 205 scholars from 27 countries would attend, which included 53 experts from
Sri Lanka, 37 from Singapore, 29 from Malaysia, 22 from the US and 14 from Canada.
Speaking at the event, Rahman praised the Tamil language and thanked Karunanidhi
for providing the opportunity to compose the theme song. "I want to include all
styles and music like folk, carnatic and western because Tamil is a universal
language and we should not restrict it with a circle. We should think Tamil language
is bigger and use more for it," said Rahman. Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister
M K Stalin also took part in the event along with a host of other Central and
State Government leaders. Music legend Lakshminarayana Subramaniam and filmmaker
Gautham Vasudev Menon were also present at the event. The World Classical Tamil
Conference would be held in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore city from June 23 to June
27. |
