Lyrics
"Dowry harassment, woman dies by suicide.
Perpetrator husband abducted by a group of armed young men.Incident took place at 10 in the morning."
Hey Marriage broker, the boy is 25,
Ripe age for dowry and 100 sovereigns of gold
let's Quarrel in the name of caste,
your fellow being's/comrade's caste and their skin colour
"he's a master of all arts"
He's a tech wizard, filthy rich, lives in America
Owns two cars, three bungalows, and four estates
as never ever heard of penury
Scheduled caste is a definite no
so is scheduled tribe
No Parayan, Pathiyan, Pulayan, or Malayan (various Dalit castes in Kerala)
No inter-caste marriage
Don't even look towards the backward caste
No Vannan, Paanan, Vallon, Koravan (More Dalit castes in Kerala)...
Caste can never be inferior
"When we say this, don't think, we're being casteist;
But we are not taking any bride from SC/ST sectors"
Warrier, Nambar, Nambisan, Pilla, Menon (various upper caste in Kerala)
"Should be fair;
Must be tall;"
Must be at least a Ph.D holder
Should be a companion for mom in washing and ironing clothes
Must be "disciplined" and well behaved
Must be really good at cooking
Should not be employed and should not be fat
100 sovereigns of gold is a must (dowry)
Oh, world filled with goodness...
Isn't caste a thing of the past?
Hasn't Kerala, the fully literate state,
Removed shed its mask (reveal true colours)?
Will caste soar over cash?
Caste will soar over cash!
Skin colour and segregation,
Family name and dowry
Menstruation and 'impurity',
and the vedic way of life
The Indian rules and the rulers
Marijuana hunts and media hyperboles
So called 'big brothers' and other societal moral police
From the Magzine 'Mangalam' to Vedic text 'Advaitham'
Everything is caste!
Caste is what we live and eat
There are no human beings, only castes
We are born into caste and we die in casteism Lyrics
