This Indian rapper is spitting bars about climate justice

This Indian rapper is spitting bars about climate justice

In her latest rap song, Mahi G, also known as Madhura Ghane, takes a powerful stance on social and environmental issues plaguing India. The music video for her song “Heatwave,” produced in collaboration with Greenpeace India, depicts the harsh reality faced by Indian laborers working in brick kilns, sewage cleaning, and construction sites under the scorching sun. The lyrics of the song shed light on the plight of these workers, questioning the societal indifference towards their struggles.

Released at a time when India was grappling with soaring temperatures and heatwaves claiming lives, Mahi G’s song resonated with many who were witnessing the devastating effects of climate change firsthand. The rapper, belonging to the Mahadev Koli tribe in Maharashtra, draws inspiration from her community’s struggles, particularly their challenges in accessing clean drinking water. Her music serves as a platform to raise awareness about environmental issues and social injustices faced by marginalized communities.

India’s hip-hop scene has traditionally been dominated by upper-caste male artists, but in recent years, voices from Dalit and Adivasi communities have emerged to challenge caste hierarchies and critique government policies. Artists like Arivu have gained popularity for their bold critiques of the Indian government and societal structures. Mahi G’s music, although not as widely recognized, has garnered support from activists and NGOs working on environmental and social justice causes.

Despite the risks involved in challenging the political establishment through their music, artists like Mahi G and Arivu continue to use their platform to advocate for change. Their songs address issues like climate justice, caste discrimination, and ecological destruction, resonating with audiences who are increasingly aware of the need for societal transformation. Mahi G’s music, while not yet monetized, has sparked conversations about the environment and prompted listeners to reconsider the impact of industrialization on natural resources.

Asim Siddiqui, an academic specializing in youth culture and politics, notes that rappers from marginalized communities often draw on their personal experiences and connections to the environment in their music. For artists like Mahi G, whose community has been directly impacted by climate change and environmental degradation, these themes hold personal significance. Through their music, these artists challenge societal norms and advocate for a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. After gaining independence from British rule, India embarked on a nation-building project that led to the classicization and commodification of many music traditions, excluding singers and performers from Dalit and Adivasi communities. However, hip-hop emerged as a platform that provided access to marginalized communities worldwide, allowing artists like Mahi G to share their stories through music.

For Mahi G, music is more than just entertainment – it is a tool for activism. Her rap focuses on important issues such as protecting natural resources. “If you can’t plant a tree, at least don’t cut one down,” she emphasizes. These fundamental principles form the foundation of her message, using music as a medium to raise awareness and advocate for environmental conservation.

By using her voice and talent in hip-hop, Mahi G is able to reach a wider audience and amplify her message. Through her lyrics and beats, she not only entertains but also educates and inspires listeners to take action and make a positive impact on the world around them.

In a society where certain communities are often marginalized and their voices silenced, hip-hop has become a powerful tool for empowerment and self-expression. Artists like Mahi G are breaking barriers and using their music to bring about social change, one verse at a time.
