namastE!
Just now saw a post from Sreenivas (not on this list) about the lament of
a reviewer for "The Hindu" regarding the lack of a single woman author in
the latest compilation of Modern India Literature by the Sahitya Academy.
This got me thinking about the domination of telugu movie lyrics field by
male poets. I remember hearing a song by of Smt. jyOtirmayi (lEta chali
gaalulu - from mooDu muLLu) but I can't think of another instance!
Are the list members aware of other women lyricists, both current and of
yesteryears?
