My love for Tamilians grows more after I have left chennai . I was there for 11 years completing my higher secondary school , ug and pg and the few years with my TASMAC machas 😂miss those golden years. Tamilians I should say are the best humans I have ever met till today. Honest, caring , no racist , very helpful and hardworking. Iam now married but one fine day I will surely visit the chennai. I miss those kolumbu, rasam, sambar, dosa, idli, biryani , Pongal, curd rice etc etc… all the food is too good…. 🤤…. Lots of love from nagaland ….
Word my brother. Tamil people are the most socially evolved and I relate to everything you say, because I stayed there just like you did, picked up my most favourite language and enjoyed the food, the culture, the films and their way of life. And all of this wouldn't have been possible without them accepting me.
This is such a beautiful tribute to your roots. The lyrics "I wear my past on my body and my future is in my mind" are absolutely beautiful and will stay with me for a long time
My new anthem. I'm a second gen Indian/Gujarati/Hindu American. Being able to wear our roots like a medal is a process, and songs like this, are the way to make that journey shorter and inspired!
What a masterpiece, beautifully done. Eventhough I'm Sinhalese this song really pierced me throughout my bones. I'm sure our Lankan Tamilians could deeply relate to this. I think if there could be an article interpreting the meaning of this song that would be priceless. I'm sorry for all the pain that was caused to everyone during the 30+ year Civil War.
@@calmmymind3670don’t give wrong interpretation for that lots of girls and children taken for ltte as soldiers and most of Tamil people suffered from that I have lots of Tamil friends who escaped from LTTE and living peacefully among the Sinhalese. I am not going to justify anything happened for Tamil people by Sinhalies that because of the same fear had about Tamils. But every one living peacefully and still politicians need to break this harmony between all the races
I first began to know you through "Mainaru Vetti Katti," and from that moment, I was drawn to your songs. Each one resonates with the beauty of our shared heritage and the enduring strength of Asian roots. This particular song is a powerful reminder of where we come from-our shared histories, the struggles, the triumphs, and the rich traditions that run through your veins as they do mine. As a Burmese person, I feel deeply connected to the stories and experiences that have shaped us. You, with your vibrant reflection of Indian culture, carry forward the legacy of those who came before us. In you, I see a beautiful tapestry woven from the threads of history, tradition, and a unique spirit that defies the boundaries often imposed by society. Your identity is not just a blend of cultures; it’s a bold statement of resistance and pride in who you are. I am incredibly proud of how you embrace your identity, not just as a reflection of the past but as a beacon for the future. In a world that often tries to define us by narrow standards, you stand tall, embodying the rich diversity and strength that our roots have given us. 🥰 Much love and respect for the incredible person you are becoming. Keep shining, keep celebrating your roots, and always remember that your voice is powerful, your identity is sacred, and you are deeply loved. I look forward to hearing more of your lovely voice. With admiration and affection, A Boy from Burma 🤩
Yo @puddingstar2340 yeap.. she nailed it. I'm hybird of shan and britain but i rooted from burma. I love this song as well, and I truly love Asian culture most, it's kinda connect us. lol
Came here after sawing negative comments in Instagram for this song.. Now got addicted and can’t get myself out from this song 😢 such a meaningful song no need to spread negativity ❤ ❤ I can’t leave here I stay put 😅😅
Hatsoff for being able to narrate so much in in 4 minutes. I think the tamil notes with english phrases in a different melody is what many are finding difficulty with on platforms like insta. But that supports the story you are trying to tell - with all the shifts. Not easy to stick to one monotonous beat when u have diverse roots. Keep going. Great work!
This is real music from a seriously talented and original singer -song writer. Goosebumps all through. The song may not boom virally, but music lovers will know when the see a true artist like her. She is miles ahead of so many meaningless and monotonous wannabe artists that have many views but lack artistry.
It takes s BIG heart to understand the Inner Trauma and the feeling of getting Liberated through this Song! Dhee no words to describe how besutifully you have sung and the expressions, the costumes and the Deeper Inner meaning all make this song a tribute to the Eelam Thamizhs! Who can forget Jaffna and the sufferings! Way to go Child! You deserve a greater place in this industry! No negativity, no raunchy stuff, but pure emotion and Innovation with a great message. All negative comments on this song may be negated
This song captures every detail of life experiences of tamils who survived the war. Very important part of history. Thank you for the well written lyrics. A treasure to cherish.
I still can't believe that this song is both intense and subtle at the same time..such a deep and healing song for all the victims still bearing the blame. Heartfelt thanks for making this song to the entire crew♥️♥️♥️
The moment I listen to the line "At my grandma's house, jackfruit and puttu" I feel very warm inside and my eyes start to tear up on their own... 🥰💖 loads of love to you Dhee
This song is a classic by Dhee . It is rustic gold !! Going to be a hit ! Though initially pick up may be slow since some people may have to tune in to her old eastern style of intonation ! But once picked her tune they would love it
Underlying deeper meaning to the writing👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Wow...This seems like it can be an anthem to many... And of course wherever the meaning applies across the world.. And Dhee, if you are going to take this route often, your music is gonna be so meaningful.. The initial orchestration... Vera level.... On loop......👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very proud of you @Dhee as a SriLankan you still remember your Roots, I am a Sinhalese, it does not matter if we are Tamil or Sinhalese we are all one mother Children called Srilankans, due to politicians in the south and north and their intentions lead to 30 years disastrous war in the country we will never forget how people of our country suffered, people in this know how people in the north suffered and the children suffered, its time to change the hate and anger towards each other to stop as a new generation past is gone, future is ahead and the future should be bright for the people of this small island. remember it does not matter your race or religion we are Sri Lankans.
@@g1patil let's just keep it at this "it does not matter if we are Tamil or Sinhalese" because currently there is no hate between Sinhalese and Tamils. The children born today, would only ask why such things happened. Because they simply cannot identify a difference other than the language we speak.
What an incredible song. Representing the millions who uproot and move to other countries for a better life but want to continue representing there roots.
Idk why this song is getting the unwanted hates …this song is actually a masterpiece tho 🥹❤️! Much way more unique than any other songs and definitely needs to be appreciated by everyone 🤌🏾❤️!
For those who are asking what the khaki and camo line means: In sri lanka, there was a civil war between sri lankan army and the terrorist group LTTE. There was a whole lot of violence for both tamil and sinhalese and all other ethnicities in my country. But people living in Jaffna and other nothern and eastern provinces (mostly tamil people) got the brunt of it. Tamil people suffered at the hands of sri lankan police (khaki colored uniform), and at the hands of both LTTE army and the sri lankan army (camo colored uniform). I belive she is saying that she doesnt like/ agree with either the police or the army because of what they did. (My opinion as a Sri Lankan Sinhalese😊)
It is Singhalese Terrorism and not LTTE. Even today after defeating them why the f**k you didn't have equal rights to Tamils atleast in constitution. Its simply Singhalese state terrorism like Israel against native people.
I wear my root like a medal from the past few days realising that embrassing my true self is the best way when it comes to being expressive💗(and when I saw dhee's song I enjoyed it fully✨💗🙌)
Thank you for this phenomenal and profound musical medicine! These spicy lyrics dig deep into reservoirs, treasures, and abundance found within and across our cultures and generations!
Jackfruit and puttu for breakfast, cycling to tuition classes, and dodging bullets during the war... these are the memories of my '80s in Jaffna. Dhee, you are truly remarkable-a gift to us all
My mother tomgue is Sinhala but I grew up never able to fit in as I've had some uncanny heartstrings for Tamizh culture since I can remember. The world will turn upside down soon and people will soon know who this country really belongs to 😊 Love from the paradise island called Sri Lanka. ❤️
Man the gulp in the end made my eyes numb. Love and RESPECT from Kolkata and Bengal. Generational trauma is what we Indians embedded in our roots. But yes we Wear our roots like a Medal💪🏾
This song healed second-generation citizens living aboard who are stuck in the middle . Thank you, dhee. Your voice is a gift to our people .

It is Singhalese Terrorism and not LTTE. Even today after defeating them why the f**k you didn't have equal rights to Tamils atleast in constitution. Its simply Singhalese state terrorism like Israel against native people.
Its rather political thing @@neithal-8852
It could also refer to the Tamil Eelam uniforms - its a part of her history either way not a casual look you put on and discard.
I'm obsessed. This is ART! From the song to the video, it's powerful
Jaffna la irundhu paakkiravanga like poodunga
The Algorithm never disappoints, This is lit🔥
Listening Like English Pop but in mixed with Tamil culture. Great Creativity. Congrats Team Dhee.
I wear my root like a medal from the past few days realising that embrassing my true self is the best way when it comes to being expressive💗(and when I saw dhee's song I enjoyed it fully✨💗🙌)
Thank you for this phenomenal and profound musical medicine! These spicy lyrics dig deep into reservoirs, treasures, and abundance found within and across our cultures and generations!
This is so deep... This is not only a song it speaks the life of my people... Thanks Dhee❤
Jackfruit and puttu for breakfast, cycling to tuition classes, and dodging bullets during the war... these are the memories of my '80s in Jaffna. Dhee, you are truly remarkable-a gift to us all
Such a amazing meaning song 😍 really proud of you 😍💞
She's something special👌🏼🎉
My mother tomgue is Sinhala but I grew up never able to fit in as I've had some uncanny heartstrings for Tamizh culture since I can remember.
The world will turn upside down soon and people will soon know who this country really belongs to 😊
Love from the paradise island called Sri Lanka. ❤️
You could have mentioned the country belongs to whom
Underrated ❤
What an empowering song that calls to appreciate your roots ❤️
Man the gulp in the end made my eyes numb. Love and RESPECT from Kolkata and Bengal. Generational trauma is what we Indians embedded in our roots. But yes we Wear our roots like a Medal💪🏾
