Singing about how she got raped - Page 7

her dance was a treat to watch
no one is like her in dance and expressions in today's Bollywood generation

She was the dancing queen

No new controversy that a "good enough song" is made news of! Its not rape, her expressions, her glances to her husband, all scream its between two lovers/ two partners and even if not its completely consensual! Using symbols for sexual encounters, or teasing, was a normal thing. More so, because our society did not permit open talks on such things; or did not see a girl talking about her desires, the fact she too is a normal human being who enjoyed being with her lover.

These are double entendre folksy songs that talked about sex. Sex was not so openly talked about in real life. These folk songs were used to convey the feelings of desires, encounters. Right or wrng it was what it was. 😊

I think we all need to remind ourselves that this song was released in the 1990s where words have different meanings than in the present time. I came across this explanation, and it hit the wall!

Someone on Tumblr/Wordpress did an excellent job explaining this.

EVERY culture out there has a song like this. Usually, they are old folk songs, and the main thing to remember is that they are NOT describing rape. You have to keep in mind that back then (heck, even now), an unmarried girl who had sex could never admit it was something she wanted. All the "lost apples" and "withering green leaves" in those songs are symbols of losing virginity. There is often a theme of "the bas***d deceived me oh how poor am I" also. In these songs, the girl (or a narrator) describes her sexual encounter, and she insists it was not her wish because then she would be ruined in society.

A song like these does not propagate or glorify rape. They are meant to be mischievous and teasing, hinting that the girl is not as half as innocent as she seems to be. (That is also why Channe Ke Khet Mein is sung at a WEDDING to a blushing bride).

Example (a bad translation of a song FOR KIDS here in CZ) (this one is a guy singing about having a one night stand with a girl):

A nice road to Budjice, though a bit narrow,

if only the lords would allow, I know of a nice girl over there.

I did got there, I slept well, in the morning she closed the door

to keep me there.

I will not stay, I am going home,

to care for my horses. (da f**k man?)

Furthermore, such songs were made at a different time when people were not that aware of the rape culture. Yes, songs like that have become problematic when it comes to lyrics, but you do have to take everything that have been written about and more into account.

Yeh lyrics are silly

even anil kapoor and juhi had one song khara hai khara hai tere dar pe aashiq khara hai , tu khol tu khol darwaza khol something like that double meaning sonam told this in kwk when she came with anil kapoor on show

The lyrics did not mean rape but it is like she's meeting her lover in the farm when she was eighteen. We have similar Radha and Krishna songs of ched chad.

during my school days one sweet 4th std girl had did practice dance on

This song was a rage then
