The Grammy Awards, originally called the Gramophone Awards, were established in 1958. Since then only three Indians have won it.

In 2009 Zakir Hussain won his second Grammy in the Contemporary World Music Album category for his collaborative album Global Drum Project along with Mickey Hart, Sikiru Adepoju and Giovanni Hidalgo.
Now in 2010 our own Rahman has made India proud by wining two Grammys at the same time.
Also in the past many other Indians were nominated for the Grammys but did not make it.
In 2005 Asha Bhosle was nominated to the Best Contemporary World Music category for her album You Have Stolen My Heart: Songs from R D Burman's Bollywood.
Later Asha was nominated again for Legacy, a private album which had eleven fixed compositions in association with and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.
Others who were nominated but missed are Louise Banks, Anoushka Shankar, Debashish Bhattacharya, Lakshmi Shankar and Bickram Ghosh.
So first nomination was not Asha Bhosle. What makes A R Rahman more special than others is that A R Rahman collaborated with Indians unlike his predecessor who did with western musicians.
