Bloody Sabarimala There is a shrine deep in the hills That's causing a lot of turmoil Let's get the facts right once and for all Before blood is shed, not menstrual Ayyappa, are women so impure? Or is it the minds of your irrational horde? Named after Sabari, she prayed to Ram A temple was built, by tribals of the land Ayyappa, a Prince who did penance at the site Legend has it, he dissolved into light This 15th century shrine was just visited in Jan Annually by tribal groups and some Tams 1810: Laxmibai formed Devaswom A brahmin priest for rituals, revenue was awesome 1950: Poachers desecrated the shrine In ruins for a decade, pilgrims didn't mind As visitors grew, rituals did too It was all Sanskritised 1970: Women of menstrual age were banned It was okay earlier but not Since the '91 courting ruling Ayyappa, are women so impure? Or is it the minds of your irrational horde? 21st century India began to modernise The court ruled in favour of equal rights An atheist authority tried to implement Right wing saw opportunity Trouble began to ferment Kerala, u want another Godhra? Is your God worth dying for? Have you no respect for women? You heard BJP party President Stop playing into their hands Show them you’re literate You eat beef, don't give a damn. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download the song for free on http://heathenbeast.bandcamp.com Hailz!!!
