Canada has named a street in Markham after Indian maestro AR Rahman.
Sharing the development on Monday, Rahman thanked Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti and people of Canada. “I never imagined this in my life. I am very grateful to all of you, the Mayor of Markham, Cananda (Frank Scarpitti), and counsellors, Indian Consulate General (Apoorva Srivastava) and the people of Canada. The name A.R. Rahman is not mine. It means merciful. The merciful is the quality of the common God we all have and one can only be the servant of merciful. So, let that name bring peace, prosperity, happiness and health to all people living in Canada. God bless you all," he wrote in a tweet.
