Arivu
This inspired Arivu to write songs and rap about these experiences which in turn caused his bandmates to turn against him and refuse to play his music.
"Caste touched everything, it was everywhere."
Arivu continued working on his music which eventually led ot the production of a collective of songs in a solo album titled Therukural (Street Verses). This album made waves and helped propel a nascent hip hop movement for Dalit rights into the forefront. This caught the attention of the BJP due to 'Anti -Indian' rhetoric.
The longer you suppress your identity the more furiously it will come out, like a volcano - Arivu
