Does anyone know who the lyricist and/or composer of Theyilai ThoTTattile bhArata SEygaL sEnRu mAyginRana
rendered in Cenjurutti by Musiri is? (It refers to exploited child and under-age workers in tea plantations) .The lyrics are quite interesting in itself.
Which plantation workers are they referring to - I would infer it refers to Srilankan or Malayan during the 40-50s? Was it Pre/ Post British rule? Perhaps cmlover or someone can provide some context for this composition?
