Kaliyoonjaladi ethum- An in-depth analysis

Today, let me refresh the memories of this amazing song from Soorya Puthran, so relevant in today’s times.

Be warned, the anti-national in you would burn. Introducing prant pracharak, Jeevan. He has been … Continue reading Kaliyoonjaladi ethum- An in-depth analysis
