@about_nothing19@eternalyjw Originally known as Sathirattam,originated in tamil temples practiced for centuries by tamils,it only got renamed as bharatanatyam around 1930's.And bha ra ta doesn't refer to India but stands for emotion(bha vam),melody(ra gam), rhyme(ta lam).Now think who is the df here.
indians from the mainland really are furious that south asians overseas aren't as deeply psychotically attached to worshipping being fair above all else lmfao
people actually getting more mad at Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, member of the Eelam Tamil diaspora, for playing an Eelam Tamil diaspora character than they are at the Sri Lankan government for committing genocide
Respectfully to all my Indian brothers and sisters back home, please spare us your takedowns. It’s not an Indian film, it’s a South Asian diaspora film.
I say South Asian because Maitrayi’s character is Eelam Tamil.
We have our opinions about NRIs and the diaspora, but we all also need to understand their world a little more than we already do. Time to shed some misconceptions and stereotypes.
