Abstract

The song “Aya Desh Bikreta” recently went viral on social media. It garnered millions of views on YouTube channels and got so popular during the recent Bihar election campaign that many started referring to it as an anthem of political Opposition. Central to this song is a strong critique of privatisation—which Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime has been frantically encouraging—and how it has compromised the interests of people.
