Watch This Indian Female Rap-tivist Call Out the US Goverment

Say hello to Sofia Ashraf again. After dropping a viral rap video Anaconda-backed Unilever diss track. The artist put out a new video which is equally political and this time, it's DOW Chemical Company and the US government at the receiving end. 

Its a three- minute track, titled A Toxic Rap Battle, call on DOW to take legal responsibility for the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy, which witnessed the death of 30,000 Indians from a lethal gas leak. despite the enormity of the incident, the chemical Company has managed to evade justice for 32 years. The US Department of justice has also refused to serve a court notice in that time.

In the video, Ashraf simulates a rap battle between Dow and the people of Bhopal, with the rapper herself, taking on both the role"This ain't roadkill / death's still taking it's toll," she accuses. "The field's a mess and meals are less / and nevertheless you don't seem to care."

She also talks about the fallouts of the disaster, which saw an approximate 1,50,000 people suffering for the exposure-related health effect; including cancer, mental illness, neurological issue etc. "The worst effects are the birth defects," she raps, "that still affects even the third generation."

​Its time to sign the petition calling out DOW to take accountability for the tragedy here.
