"Baduga Community Protests Misrepresentation in Brother Movie Song 'Heytama,' Demands Removal for Cultural Integrity"

The Baduga community in Tamil Nadu has voiced great disapproval over the appropriation of their traditions in the beginning of the song "Heytama" from the film Brother Directed by Rajesh M. Community members have organized protests calling for the song's removal, saying that it misrepresents their traditions and identities.

The Badugas are taking action against the song's image of their culture, which they believe does not adequately reflect their values and heritage. Protesters claim that such depictions can cause misconceptions and misinterpretations of their community's customs.

 
The protests include public rallies and calls on filmmakers to work with community leaders to create more authentic depictions in the media.

The Badugas, who mostly live in the Nilgiris district, have a rich cultural legacy that they want to preserve. This demonstration demonstrates their commitment to ensuring that their traditions are respected and appropriately represented in popular culture.
