Inspired by sir James Scott's study on the forms of resistance by peasant communities. Weapons of the weak suggests that even the oppressed peasantry who are not organized or involved in any organized movement, there still are small expressions of resistance, specifically though the use of language. In the absence of any platform to fight, cursing their abusive landlords is a common way to which the peasants express their resistance.

To Curse is to Resist!
