Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

As the son of first generation literates within the Dalit communnity, he was raised on the prasies of Dr B.R Ambedkar, a Dalit Icon and pioneer of the Dalit Intellectual Movement. 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
