On Wednesday, March 26th, a request to change the lyrics of Yo Yo Honey Singh‘s latest song “Maniac” was turned down by the Delhi High Court. The petition argued that the song contained Bhojpuri words that degraded women, but the court found it unfounded, stating emphatically that “vulgarity has no religious affiliation.
According to Bar and Bench, during a court hearing for a petition brought forward by Luv Kush Kumar, the Delhi High Court bench (consisting of Chief Justice DK Upadhyay and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela) made some comments. In this case, his legal representative argued that the song was inappropriate as it seemed to promote explicit content using the Bhojpuri language and depicted women in a sexualized way.
The court stated, “Impoliteness isn’t affiliated with any religion and shouldn’t be accepted under any circumstances. Regardless of its origin, inappropriate behavior remains inappropriate.
As a champion for a respectful and empowering lifestyle, I’ve taken issue with a popular song that has been causing quite a stir lately. To put it plainly, I believe the track crosses the line when it comes to sexualization and innuendo, reducing women to mere objects of desire.
The song’s lyrics, unfortunately, are riddled with vulgar language, degrading imagery, and references that are frankly inappropriate for public consumption. These elements have contributed to its widespread popularity, but not without fostering a culture that disrespects women and reinforces harmful stereotypes.
In essence, I’m advocating for more thoughtful and inclusive songwriting to ensure we’re promoting respect, equality, and understanding in our society.
The court stated that Kumar’s request couldn’t be entertained because he was trying to get help from a private individual, which writs cannot be issued for. Instead, writs are only applicable against states or state-run organizations. His case falls under private law, not public law, so filing a writ petition would not be appropriate.
The court suggested to Kumar that he might want to explore other legal avenues, like filing a criminal complaint. They mentioned that if the incident could be classified as a non-bailable offense, he could submit a First Information Report (FIR) and follow the required steps if it wasn’t registered initially. After considering the court’s recommendation, Kumar chose to drop his case instead.
In simpler terms, Neetu Chandra, an actress, asked the court to provide guidance on changing the words of a particular song and setting rules for the content of future songs like it.
As a diehard fan, I’m imploring the Patna High Court to guide the appropriate officials in revising the offensive and disrespectful lyrics of Maniac. In my petition, I’ve included Yo Yo Honey Singh, Leo Grewal, and Ragini Vishwakarma, the song’s artists, as well as T-Series, Google, and YouTube, as the parties involved in this matter.
