Swadesi, The Warli revolt

The Warli revolt by local hip-hop act Swadesi isn’t a protest song. It’s a rallying cry for outright war. The lyrics in the tribal dialect hold a dagger to the state government’s throat, threatening to slice it open if more trees are felled in Aarey Colony for the Metro Car shed. That issue is on the backburner now. But the track continues to fire the revolutionary passion.
