Oscar winning composer A.R. Rahman will be conferred
an honorary doctorate by Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
Rahman shot to international fame with his compositions in Danny
Boyle's underdog drama "Slumdog Millionaire" and won two golden
statuettes for that.
Apart from Rahman, Gopichand Narang, former president of Sahitya
Academy, would also be conferred an honorary doctorate at a
convocation on June 7, said a press release from AMU.
West Bengal governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi will be the chief guest at
the 59th annual convocation function. AMU chancellor, A.M. Ahmadi,
also former chief justice of India, will preside over the annual event.
