One of Bharathiyar’s many poems that rally against caste and caste-based discrimination. In this, he says that those with caste pride create difference between people, incite violence and cause injustice. He then says only love will rule the world. The song – featured in the film – was sung by Rajkumar Bharathi, the poet’s grandson.
