I was listening to Aluthur Brothers singing the Saindhavi raga Javali composition of Swati Tirunal 'Itu Saahasamulu Yaala Naapai' . I dont know whether any other composition against child sexual abuse has been written in Carnatic music.
As my little understanding goes about the meaning of the lyrics, here a little 'devadasi' girl is requesting an adult male to not approach him with a sexual desire....
If you see the Bharatanatyam video links that is given below, you could follow it better.
However please do not miss the rendering of Alathur Brothers
