Just as India announced to the world about the success of Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2025 in retaliation for the gruesome terror attack in Pahalgam in April 2025, leftists and anti-nationals started their bangle breaking and virtue signalling.
Among those who preached peace was the woke leftist ‘singer’ TM Krishna. He took to his X handle that day to advocate for peace. He wrote, “I am a pacifist, don’t be afraid to say it.”
This led to a huge outrage among netizens for his preaching, especially given the fact that it was retaliation for the attack, and it was Pakistan who has been clandestinely harbouring terrorists to attack India time and again.
It later came to light that TM Krishna has a problem with our freedom fighters and their patriotic songs as well. Here is an example. In what can be assumed to be a video discussion, Krishna is seen talking about Bharathiyar’s song Parukulle Nalla Naadu.
He mentions the lyrics of the song “… Dheerathile Padai Veerathile. Nenjil Eerathile Ubagarathile”
Now he finds the words “Padai veeram” problematic because he feels it doesn’t seem violent when it is sung!
Here’s what he said, “It is not entirely a non-violent song. You wouldn’t have heard an ounce of violence in the way I sang. That is an interesting thing. What is the music doing, what are the lyrics doing here? Violence is a conceptual idea. “Dheerathile Padai Veerathile”, so when he says “Padai Veerathile”, he is talking about the courage of the force. Dheerathile Padai Veerathile, Nenjil Eerathile Ubagarathile – Nenjil Eerathile is a classic Tamil expression. But Dheerathile Padai Veerathile – so where is force, and what is the role of force, and what is music doing to the idea of force. Did you hear force differently? Does something else happen to the notion of ‘Padai Veeram’ when it is sung rather than I explain? Is it a different sensibility enunciation? It is a very curious question. Is it not as violent when it is sung in Jaunpuri? Is it a different sense? I think these are all important things to explore because we are talking of the musicality of this piece. So please remember one important thing: all great poetry cannot be sung. There is great poetry that can be read.”
Krishna thinks paarukulle nalla naadu is a violent song.
He has a problem with
Bharatiyar too.
He doesn't like the fact that bharatiyar used " padai veeram " exhibiting the courage & valour of our defence.
Creep to the core. https://t.co/AodXsJZYNZ pic.twitter.com/qa7d7WlXos— krithika sivaswamy (@krithikasivasw) May 8, 2025
