Apologise, writers tell Satyabhama

A group of Malayalam writers on Friday asked Mohiniyattam artiste Kalamandalam Satyabhama, who had insulted dancer R.L.V. Ramakrishnan by indirectly referring to his skin tone, to correct herself and to apologise to the art world.

A joint statement signed by Vaisakhan, M.M. Basheer, Alankode Leelakrishnan, Manambur Rajanbabu, T.D. Ramakrishnan, P.K. Gopi, and K.

They warned the people to remain vigilant against the return of racism and casteism.
