Vermillion
A Poem by Jeevaneyan
It is not a color rather it is an identity,
It is not only the color but Tamils' thoughts are in the same color.
Whenever anger arises against oppression,
this thought always emerges.
I don't know what married men wear for their identity.
But Tamil girls in the name of Kumkum their identity revealed.
Sentoor or kumkum
This is the color sign
Saves women.
This sign is destroyed if her husband dies.
Women's lives are also destroyed through this erasure of identity.
The flag of revolutionary movements is also the same colour.
But the democratic change that happened abroad did not happen in our country.
If sentoor and kumkum are used only for auspicious events.
Addicted by this color
Auspiciousness will happen in women's lives.
