Sunil Koshy releases a song in light of student protests
Musician Sunil Koshy has released a protest-themed song titled 'Datey Raho' in response to recent student demonstrations in New Delhi. The song aims to encourage youth activism and social awareness.
Why it matters
It reflects the intersection of art and political activism, highlighting how cultural figures use their platforms to influence public discourse on social issues.
Techie–turned–musician and entrepreneur Sunil Koshy’s latest song, ‘Datey Raho’, is the result of a collaboration with lyricist Sahil Sultanpuri and guitarist Rijush Aluva. Composed during the student protest in New Delhi that resulted in the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Sunil dedicates the song to the movement.
“It is not political. It is for the youth, and for our society, let nothing come in their way.”
He feels that every citizen has the responsibility to oppose injustice. “I want students to think for themselves,” he says, adding that the song was written in a span of 24 hours, a personal record.
