Shreya Ghoshal Lends Her Voice To Protest Against The RG Kar Rape Case

The renowned playback singer of the Indian music industry, Shreya Ghoshal was supposed to hold a concert on September 14 in Kolkata which she postponed in the wake of the RG Kar incident. She decided to become vocal about women’s safety which was clear from her recent performance at Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata. The concert was a part of the ‘All Hearts Tour’ which was organized by ISHQ FM in collaboration with the India Today Group. She canceled her previously scheduled concerts in protest of the brutal and gruesome rape and murder case involving a trainee doctor at the RG Kar Hospital and the resistance was solidified by Ghoshal when she unveiled a new song in the city to address the growing issue of violence against women which, named ‘E Je Sorirer Chitkar’ which translates to ‘The scream of this body’.

Before this, another eminent singer of the Indian music industry, Arijit Singh wrote and sang ‘Aar Kobey’ which translates to ‘If not now then when?’ This song has become the anthem of the uncountable protests that have been going on in the city since the horrific incident. The main message of the song roughly translates to when the justice will be served if not now. Now is the prime time to raise our voices against the criminals and the inhumane activities. The song emerged as an anthem of sorts amid massive protests over the doctor’s rape-murder.

The concert which drew a large crowd went viral on the social media platforms. Before Shreya started her new song, she appealed to her audience not to clap as a gesture of appreciation but rather take a pause and reflect on the deeper meaning of the lyrics. As she finished her track, the whole stadium burst into a chant and shout, screaming ‘We Want Justice’. This kind of gesture done by eminent personalities of the society shows how much the RG Kar rape and murder case has affected the people and on how many levels it has affected.
