lyrics
Against the state that suppresses their rights
They start a movement for what they've been denied
Ensnared by lies, deprived of their dues
They take to the streets, the marginalised
It's happened before, history repeats
Rest assured, bodies will fall
The privileged, they gaze down in disgust
Too self-absorbed to understand the cause
Incubating hate, breeding distrust
"e;
Who the fuck are they, these foreigners
Across the border, that's where they belong
Disturbing our peace, gun them down!
"e;
One has more clout than the other
The divide, it only gets wider
A gift from the state
A bullet for your head
To add to the dead
(A parallel can be drawn between the Madhesi/Tharu people of the Southern plains of Nepal and the Nepali-speaking Gorkha population of the Darjeeling hills across the border in West Bengal, India, both of whom have gone through several violent protests against the power centres in Kathmandu and Kolkata, respectively. Marginalised and neglected for decades, these people have endured brutal, bloody movements in order to be heard, and every time protesters have been slaughtered by the state. While all this takes place, the privileged living in Kathmandu and Kolkata fail to understand what they're fighting for, instead dismissing the agitators as "foreigners" - referring to the Madhesi as "Indians" and the Gorkhas as "Invaders from Nepal".)
