To cap off my globe-trotting exploration of music with a message, I would like to show you a recently posted Indian video that uses rapping to spread their message. It's has a strong feminist voice, a voice that is desperately needed to be heard, especially in India. After reading about rape and objectification through the rapists perspective in Disgrace, it's enlightening to gain even more understanding about how this issue effects people though the victims. It's a call to action which they are angry as well as thoughtful about, and they should be. And the use of hashtags and social media is making their efforts a two pronged attack, using not only rapping but the catalyst of things like Twitter to help their message spread. I hope the best for these, "BomBaebs," and may this effort prove fruitful.
