Requiem for Gauri Lankesh - Arati Rao

This song is a a tribute to Bangalore journalist, Gauri Lankesh, who was killed outside her home on 5th September 2017. The sheer brutality of the crime, reflects the intolerance displayed by opposing thought and highlights the times we live in. Basic humanity has gone to seed. Gauri was a fearless anti-establishment crusader who had enemies, but she didn't care. She spoke her mind in public and spread her word through her writings.  It appears that in today's India, dissent is considered treason, and our freedom at every level is threatened. Gauri Lankesh's death was an assassination of Democracy.  The song also speaks of religious intolerance, the beef ban, closeted sexuality and other aspects that challenge Indian society. FEATURING: Arati Rao - vocals, lyrics and composition, Himanshu Gautam - guitars, Snehal Pinto - bass and Rohit P.S - drums.  #IAmGauri #SongsOfFreedom #Original #Indie
