"Dee", is one word which I have resisted using against anyone , and it is also my last astra ,what I would like to use when I want to inflict a person with a maximum INSULT.But this word is now of international fame,I was in Pune a few weeks back,the cab driver was very impressed to listen to this song and could bear with a series of Tamil songs being played enroute , I was into a shop the shop keeper a Hindi wala was inquiring from which part of south INDIA I was?When i said Chennai, His immediate response was Oh that Kolaveri song is good ,But he also wanted to know What is Kolaveri ? when I gave the right literal meaning" Mudrerous rage"His expression went blank,and he was thinking twice whether he can utter the word again or acclaim in open that he likes that song.
I have not listened to this song in full length,WHY THIS KOLAVERI DE? for the simple reason that I cannot imagine any person to be so rude in his expression against a girl/lady/women? that too when he wants to attract her attention and fall in love.(Is love not a delicate issue?)Secondly, I FAIL to understand why such rage to degrade thedignity of women community?For I have not come across any hue and cry on this song from any ladies lib. Since when, people(girls/women) have become immune to such mockery, that-derail the modesty of women.
Yes I can hear some resistance from the other end who feel this is an over reaction, and the fun quotient alone has to be considered, and nothing unwarranted attributed other wise.
But lets not ignore the fact that MOVIES are mass media of communication and they have very lasting influence on the society.. Cinema./songs have a cultural impact on the growing children,who tend to use what ever they hear as a fashion statement (already addressing each other as mapilla/machi/machan Has been accepted as normal vocabulary),and in due course It might become natural for any man to address a lady as DE,Besides the younger generation believe's that happening's on screen event(reel), is acceptable in real life
.Now some more reasons ,why I feel disgusted and feel the lyricist have to refine them selves ,will become evident with the below mentioned songs,
Adi da avala, udayai da avala,kolra avala, ava theviyae illa
Evan De unna pettan pettan,avan en kayila kedicha avan sethan sethan
Vaadi vaadi vaadi en cute pondathi.
These are just a few of the many songs, which are making their rounds in the Tamil film musics, which is sung and relished by most of the youth, If this trend continues,we would be aiding in breeding a uncultured male population, who will neither have any soft feelings on the opposite gen der nor have any respect to the girls father.Remember the quote by Thomas baile aldrich, where he says "A MAN IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY HIS MIND KEEPS" and more and more of such thoughts would spread as wild fire.
The plight of ladies in India even after decades of civilization, has not improved,we have witnessed good songs,where ladies have been compared with moon/breeze/ flower /tendrils and all delicate things,but still being treated like Beasts ,Popularising and supporting such songs,would encourage people to exceed the limits ,so lets raise an alarm before we reach the Danger mark .SO I only want to make an APPEAL, can we have a FULL STOP ON THIS "DE"factor
