Rapper and hip hop artist MC Kash is the pioneering voice of protest music in Kashmir. Rendered immobile by a leg injury, the 16-year-old wrote his first protest song. “My first protest song had childish lyrics, but it was my expression. I sang.”His strongest political protest song, Saffudin says, was written on the eve of the maiden Kashmir visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014. He, like most others, acknowledges MC Kash’s pioneering role as an artist who kick-started the musical resistance in Kashmir.
