Kann Thiranthadhu’s Manushanai Paathittu Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Kalyanasundaram contrasts illiterate farmers feeding society with educated individuals dividing communities. One lyric states truth-speakers receive kicks while liars find comfort. The words describe wealthy men refusing aid as hungry people demand justice.

Defiance against systemic dishonesty anchors the Manushanai Paathittu lyrics in English. Kalyanasundaram rejects a world rewarding deception over labor. Jamunarani’s performance reinforces this moral challenge through deliberate phrasing.
