Chutney singers stealing from Bollywood?

Remember when most of us were in uproar over the alleged theft of soca hits by the Panamanian quartet Comando Tiburón? Well it appears that our chutney artists are no strangers to this practice. And no, they aren't the victims. Are our chutney "stars" stealing music from Bollywood?
If they are, who is to blame? The artist, the producer, or our culture?
Daniella Candice Brown aka The Trini Berry fills us in. She also wishes to highlight the "perversion of the original material with alcohol".
Remember the website that brought you it first!




Update 18/6/11: After a response from Chutney star Ravi B, Danielle has since responded, disproving more claims of his originality.
