Popular folk and classical singer Maithili Thakur, who rules the hearts of millions of music lovers in India and abroad with her melodious and charming voice, recently said some things regarding social system and politics during an interview, which have become a topic of discussion from social media to political circles. Maithili Thakur, who reached great heights with her singing at a very young age, is not only known for her artistic journey, but she is also known for her outspoken opinion on the social and cultural issues of the country. Recently, during a special conversation, when the country’s oldest and deep-rooted problem i.e. the interrelationship of ‘caste system’ and politics was discussed, he presented his personal experiences and the ground reality of the society in a very simple and sharp manner, which forced everyone to think.
While talking during the interview, Maithili Thakur made a big statement directly attacking the electoral and social politics of the country. He said without any hesitation that the entire structure of politics in our country is based on the fabric of caste and if caste based discrimination and thinking is completely removed from this society, then traditional politics will also automatically end from the country. He told how even in today’s times, when people see a person, they try to understand his caste and gotra before looking at his qualifications or work. Maithili believes that as long as caste and religion remain the basis of politics, it will be very difficult for the real and complete development of the society. His statement has once again intensified the debate whether Indian democracy will ever be able to completely rise above caste equations or not.
Taking the conversation forward, Maithili Thakur also shared her experiences of facing this bitter truth of the society during her personal life and professional career. She told that as an artiste, when she goes to perform on stage in different corners of the country, she gets immense love from people of every class and every section, where music has no caste. Music is a language that unites hearts, not divides them. But despite this, when she looks at other aspects of social and public life, she realizes that people are still stuck in small and narrow identities. In his journey from his early days till today, he has realized how people start looking for their identity and caste in everything, which is not at all right for a progressive society.
After this frank statement of Maithili Thakur, a wide discussion on this has started among the youth and intellectuals of the country. Today’s young generation, which is progressing rapidly through social media and modern education, is also understanding that to strengthen the country, it is very important to rise above caste discrimination and narrow politics. Being a popular youth icon, Maithili’s message is leaving a positive impact on every section of the society. He believes that until this casteism and discrimination between our own and our own is not eliminated from within us, we will not be able to emerge on the world stage with our full potential as a united and strong nation. This young artiste, who connects people with the sounds of music, is now trying to instill a new spirit of unity and equality in the hearts of the society through her words, which is needed most in today’s times.
