Calicut University Keeps Vedan, Gauri Lakshmi Songs in BA SyllabusSaralnama

Calicut University's Board of Studies decided to keep songs by rapper Vedan and singer Gauri Lakshmi in the BA Malayalam syllabus. The board rejected a review that suggested removing the songs. Dr. MS Ajit, board chairman, said Vedan's rap 'Bhoomi Jnaan Vazhunna Idam' should be valued for its message, not as poetry. The board also dismissed claims that Gauri Lakshmi's 'Kathakali' song lacks devotion. Despite earlier protests, the university will continue teaching these songs in the third semester BA Malayalam course. (Updated 4 Oct 2025, 17:19 IST; source: link)
