ARR is the first Indian to Win an Oscar in a Induvidual capacity in a competitive section.
Satyajit ray won an Honoury award. Bhanu Athaiya share her award for Costume design with an other person for Gandhi. Resul shares his award with two more. ARR has won all alone for Best Score. So he becomes the first and only Indian to have won an Oscar singularly in competitive section.
