![]() ![]() ![]() While the Maoists have taken exception to the song, calling it misleading and saying that it undermines the well-intended “people’s war”, others say Saput has shown the mirror to the Maoist leadership who flagrantly abandoned the foot soldiers who made the fundamental pillars of the armed insurgency. Prakash Saput’s new music video titled “Pir”-which means sorrow in Nepali-tells the story of the plight of a couple that fought as Maoist fighters but now struggles to eke out a living, even as those who led the war live lavish and comfortable lives. A Nepali song released on Friday, which has attracted more than 5.3 million views till Monday evening, has over the last four days prompted a fierce debate over the Maoist “people’s war”, with social media platforms flooded with comments for and against.
