Odisha rapper Samir Mohanty released a rap video titled “Are You Indian” on July 6, 2018, that is breaking the internet with its power-packed lyrics, taking a point-blank shot at the society that indulges in racism.
From mocking the appearance of people to stereotypes associated with their lifestyle, this video mirrors every possible type of humiliation that people of north-eastern origin are subjected to.
Labeling it as an ‘anti-racism rap’ Samir said that this was by far the hardest and longest song he has ever written, slogging for 10-12 hours for seven straight days till he came up with the lyrics.
The video has been garnering views and appreciation from netizens on the internet who are commending this 26-year-old rapper from Puri for speaking out on prejudice surrounding a community in a country that is a melting pot of ethnicities, cultures, and traditions.
