Listen "BJPod Special Episode- Diljit, Faiz and what are they afraid of?"
Episode Synopsis
What does it mean when a nation fears a poem? When an actor is boycotted not for what he says, but for who he shares a screen with? We unpack the growing wave of cultural censorship in India from the backlash against Diljit Dosanjh for starring alongside a Pakistani actor, to the banning of Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poetry, to the rise of hyper-nationalist films.We explore how art becomes resistance, how silence becomes complicity, and why, despite the weariness, we must still speak. Because, as Faiz said—Bol, ke sach zinda hai ab tak.
