Srinagar has got its share of young rappers who perform in English, but this bachelor of arts student at Srinagar’s Amar Singh College is perhaps the only rapper performing in Kashmiri. “Singing in my native language gives me the advantage of connecting with a majority of the people of my state,” says Ubaid, who has composed around 10 tracks till date, and uploaded them on the net, as well as sung them at various festivals. Most of them, naturally, reflect the human and political questions of Kashmir, like Azad Hoon: Kashmir, Kasher Kya Mange (What Do Kashmiris Want). His next song is on the Kunan-Poshpora mass rape of 1991.
