Perfect reply.
Like to add-on to say his previous success are stepping stones for his
recognition.
Because of the success of Roja; he got the option to venture into the
bollywood world.
Because of his successess in many hindhi movies; he has the option to
venture into more international territories periodically.
The Oscar is a face-life for our man. Though he has been talked about &
published in many articles worldwide; the Oscars & his recent previous
Critics Awards, BAFTA & Golden Globe etc... gives him recognition for
his achievement.
So, it is because of his consistent previous achievements; that he was
recommended again, and again, and again to achieve the unbelieveable for
an Indian.

his best composition..

I respect people's opinion about how Jai Ho doesn't come across as
Rahman's best in their opinion. That's fine. We live in a subjective
world. I didn't think it was his best either. But that's the point- he
wasn't competing with himself (or rather his other tracks), at this
year's Oscars! If we had tracks from Roja, Lagaan or even Thiruda
Thiruda in competition with Jai Ho, then I can understand how fans can
be disappointed that Jai Ho won over a Mitwa or a Kojam Nilavu or even a
Dil se re. But they were not there to compete with Jai Ho. So why fuss
about how it's not his best and that's why it should have not got an
Oscar - or something in those lines! When one day we have two of
Rahman's albums up for nominations at the Oscars, we can moan about why
one got it over the other. So save the discussions (and unnecessary
disappointment) till then!
Also, if Lagaan had won the Oscar for best foreign movie, that would not
have got Rahman an Oscar. There is no "Best Music in a Foreign Film"
category at the Oscars.Yes, his music would have been part of an Oscar
winning movie but A.R.Rahman, the man himself would not have been an
Oscar winner. This will apply to all future Indian projects. They will
always be classified as "foreign films". So although we'd like Oscars
for all our favourite Rahman soundtracks, that ain't going to happen
because they have mostly been for "foreign films", in the eyes of the
Academy. Thank God for Danny Boyle!
