As an addendum, I should add that my point here is not at all that Raaja shifted gears slower than Rahman. Raaja's intervention IS revolutionary insofar as it totally altered the dynamics of TFM and elevated it to a different level altogether. But the crucial point to my mind is how he didn't 'reject' anything current to accomplish all that he did, but on the contrary, embraced it completely and transcended it as I said earlier.
So the 'problem' with Rahman's case is not that it was sudden, but that it abruptly cuts short the lineage of many things that had surfaced by then in TFM thanks to Raaja.
