Hi, I'm on a personal quest to gather ragas for Rahman's film music... unfortunately I am not so well versed in identifying Ragas. I have been collecting popular ragas in their carnatic versions.... but I would like to get film song examples for all these ragas to help the new generation enjoy and understand the beauty of ragas by being able to relate to them. So what better way to develop appreciation for carnatic music than by showing its influences on popular music. That will be very educational and inspiring for people I think... especially now that Rahman has attracted quite a bit of interest from the west, and they will be keen to find out more about him, I would like to make information about ragas available to the west.... This way, the west will also have a better understanding of the musical history that has given birth to a soul such as Rahman. I found this website that gave a small sample of ragas that corresponded to different songs Rahman has done: http://prabhuthemusiclover.tripod.com/arrahman/id3.html However, I am hoping someone (or several people), would help me create an extensive list of raga identification for Rahman's music. I plan to make a very educational website using this research. Hope to chat to you soon. Regards, Vajra
