The song starts with one of the students asking questions like, ‘Why is the generation suffering from identity crisis? What make a Hindustani? Is it colour? Language? Religion? Or status in economy?’, etc.
Students from National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad paid a tribute to the Mughal culture by making a cool rap song to emphasize on national integrity and peaceful co-existence. Neither a lesson of history nor a hip-hop or rap music video, it’s a kinda mash-up song (multiple genres), combining reminders of the cultural legacy of the Mughals with the dynamism of street music.
Students rap about the Mughal era, the Sultanate, how Babur came to India in the 1520s, about the capable Humayun, righteous Akbar, his son Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. It was shot entirely in Ahmedabad, at several heritage sites. The song has a rustic and raw feel to it, it appears like Lucknow or areas near Old Delhi: Chandni Chowk or Daryaganj. It’s interesting to note that Ahmedabad is strongly influenced by Sultanate ethos, exemplified by the architecture and the locations seen in the music video.
They chose this type of style in music, as the medium for its appeal is for younger audiences and for traditional use as a form of protest. The video was also inspired in part by a satirical Malayalam rap video titled Native Bapa, which Mamukkoya as a central character.
