Declare Parai (Drums) As the National Instrument of Tamilnadu

  • by: Puli Arasan
  • recipient: Cheif Minister of Tamilnadu

Parai is one of the oldest musical instruments and a symbol of Tamil Tradition
The word Parai has its origins in this word Paraidhal and
it means to announce or declare or convey something.

Parai instrument was used to announce or declare or convey something.
It was Used In Wars, Marriages, Funerals, Festivals etc
Unfortunately, now it is used only in Funerals

Parai has traditionally been performed by and associated with members of an oppressed community thus lending itself to unfortunate caste discriminations

By declaring it as the National Instrument of Tamilnadu, It will help to lift all the Caste Barriers on this Amazing Traditional Instrument and the Caste based discrimination on the Musicians of Parai

There is a Saying That "Only the Dead will not Dance to the Music Of Parai"
such is the sound of Parai

உலகம் முழுக்க பறை ஒலிக்கட்டும்!
