Hatred in the Belly of Upper Castes and Our Ilayaraja 😍
வாங்கடா வந்து வந்தனம் பண்ணுங்கடா! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ஓரம்போ ருக்குமணி வண்டி வருது was not a song about the protagonist who tries to learn bicycle. Contrary to the popular perception, the song was actually about a downtrodden Dalit-Bahujan person(like Ilayaraja) who wanted to overcome the obstacles placed before him by this elite upper class & caste casteist society. It was written by Ilayaraja's brother Gangai amaran. And I'm not surprised to know the fact that it was banned by upper caste dominated All India Radio(AIR). Does any brahmin or Upper caste tolerate a Dalit-bahujan who tries to destroy their monopoly and their establishment and march upward? You could notice this in the lyrics like, " பாளையம் பண்ணபுரம் சின்னதாயி பெத்த மகன் ஏறியே வரான் டோய் " is actually Ilayaraaja. And in " ரோட்டுல எல்லாம் மேடு ரொம்ப இருக்கு " is nothing but upper caste domination & it's obstacle, and in ஏத்தி விடுங்க ...
