It is derogatory in every sense - why Mochi thinks himself Sunar - becuase Caste Muchi is below that of Sunar in the current Hindu system. The word mochi is not bad but it is the comparison which is derogatory. If the song is played and not stopped it can no be an excuse for it being not derogatory - why banking on wague excuses. Objection on using Caste words can not be termed as pressure on liberty on creative writing and expression. One can not write whatever he thinks is correct or otherwise. All are - BELAGAM GHODE and CHIKNE GHADE, as there is no effective controlling mechanism to check their work. WHY AT ALL TO USE CASTE WORDS. IS HIS DICTIONERY REVOLVES JUST AROUND USING CASTE WORDS. Rediff please forward this messsage to Piyush Mishra. Thanks
