Let's Dance Chotu Motu song includes songs like Twinkle Twinkle, Jack N Jill, Humpty Dumpty, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and?Ring Around the Rosie.? ?
In the letter, "the association has urged movie makers to move away from 'relentless' and 'senseless' inclusion of outdated nursery songs or glorifying it to have many hear their songs."
Slamming the song's empathy and highlighting the National Curriculum Framework's commitment to age-appropriate education, it said, "The curriculum focusses on empathy and yet you have songs like Humpty Dumpty and Jack and Jill who have fallen and instead of feeling sad for them here they are all dancing and happy. What message are we sending to children about empathy, caring and other socio-emotional development?"
Furthermore, talking about the origins of these songs, it said, "I don¡¯t think these lyricists and music directors are aware that these rhymes are not actually nursery rhymes, they are actually snide songs used to comment on rivals and kings. Like Humpty Dumpty is about King Richard III who was supposed to be humpbacked and defeated in a battle in 1485.?
"There would be such dark meanings behind each of these rhymes."
The association's president Swati Popat Vats said, "At a time when parents and schools are trying to move away from these senseless age-old rhymes, here comes a movie that glorifies it! Salman Khan has a huge fan following among children. It means that these senseless rhymes are going to be played by moms as they feed their children and in birthday parties."
