All this is fine. But if a Deva fan comes around and tells you that Deva is a "genius" I would like to see all your reactions.

Coming back to the main focus of this topic

"If anyone in India has matched this, I'd sure love to know about him/her."

Observer, I think there have been quite a few prodigies like Ravi Kiran and so on who have been critically acclaimed by many. Whether they have "matched" what you have posted is a matter of thorough musical debate. ICM has more to do with performance/improvisations and the emphasis is more on the performer than the composer(in contrast with WCM). So a direct comparison with WCM prodigies might not be very valid.
