After SC nudge, Rahman agrees to credit Dagars

In a significant development for the Indian music industry, renowned composer AR Rahman has agreed to credit the Junior Dagar Brothers for their contributions to the song "Veera Raja Veera." This decision comes after the Supreme Court intervened, nudging Rahman to acknowledge the musical lineage of the Dagars, known for their traditional Dagarwani style of singing. The Junior Dagar Brothers, who have been instrumental in promoting this classical form, will now receive the recognition they deserve for their influence on the piece. This ruling not only highlights the importance of recognizing artists' contributions but also emphasizes the need for respect towards traditional music forms in contemporary compositions. Rahman's willingness to credit the Dagars marks a positive step towards fostering a culture of acknowledgment in the Indian music scene, encouraging collaboration and appreciation among artists across different genres.
