Like Sugar in Concrete - Poems of Protest


Listen Later

"There are fascists, pretending to be humanitarians

like cannibals on a healthkick, eating only vegetarians." - Roger McGough 

Rhymes against crimes, going lyrical (but satirical), the inchoate poets know it - there's verse in the subversive. 

We present the works of Aamir Aziz, Hussain Haidry, Hamraaz... 

The historical contexts behind Humpty Dumpty, "First they came for the socialists...", Plath, Beckett and Dylan Thomas.

Purnima writes a limerick. Genesia recites an impassioned poem to Fascists from memory. 

And as a special treat, a short interview with upcoming Delhi rap duo Krantike X Dean Swag aka Famous Hona Hai where we also play their track, Notewala Neta. 

This episode is in English and Hindi. Please watch out for translations where available on our social media.
