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

isnt gold more expensive than leather? its like comparing two axe one of gold other of iron. it is not linked with any person in particular but just to a profession.. its like saying that a peon becomes the manager due to red tapism.. is that castist? what is a caste word? isnt that something you have created in your mind? why to link a profession with some family? doesnt every leatherman (mochi) want to become a sunar (goldsmith) as much as everyone wants to wear gold than iron.

it seems that you are true follower of mayawati. i cant under stand why this silly system of caste has been made why every one is not only a human. you will find many comparision in many songs why every body has choosen only this one. it is shame on us that we are still fighting for cast,land and water where the world is winning new frontiers in science and technology ever day. shame on your thoughts and on every one who think like that.

Is it something wrong in following Mayawati ? ( so you are in correct in the first place". If you follow Advani/Modi and smeone else follow Mayawati.. does it make you correct ??
Rule number 1 of writing blogs... never go personal. Use your logic and skills to express yourself.
