Kummiyadi Lyrics Translation – Ghibran | Suganthi
Bharathiyaar directly challenges patriarchal norms through pointed imagery – men who ‘locked women inside houses’ now ‘hang their heads in shame.’ Suganthi and Amirthavarshini deliver his declaration that women will ‘make laws’ and ‘create divine’ societal structures, transforming poetic aspiration into performative action.
