DESCRIPTION:
Thanks to Kanhaiya Kumar, azadi is no longer a war cry for rebels looking for a cause. I was so amazed with the JNU's slogan song Azaadi. I kept on singing it all these days. And now...voilà! look what we have. I used to listen this slogan more than 30 times per day, Kanhaiya's azadi slogan become such a passionate one for me. Bhukhmari se azaadi. Sanghvade se azaadi. Samantvad se azaadi. Punjivad se azaadi. Brahmanvad se azaadi. Manuvad se azaadi. Hum lekar rahenge azaadi. Tum kuch bhi kar lo azaadi. Hai haq humaari azaadi. Hai jaan se pyari azaadi! I would love to see this song in some patriotic movie soon. Perfect !


It is true that if it weren’t for the assiduous tailing of the issue by the ABVP in JNU, members of which who took umbrage at the content and hate-spewing against the nation by a group of now anonymous people, this matter could have been just canteen banter or at the most a nukkad natak, if left alone. The charge is that taking such over-the-top cognizance, taping the incident on phones and allowing media into the campus and overzealousness of BJP MPs to report the matter to police created the cinema-scope dimensions it finally did. The counter argument is that JNU has always harboured a section of students and faculty that lives on the fossilized ideas of the Left and Extreme-Left and that this time, it had gone too far. What also exacerbated the situation was the attempt at organising a similar anti-India event at the Press Club, which was denounced with much more alacrity and a lot less liberal angst. But this was JNU. So how dare you!
Kanhaiya Kumar is no longer just a JNU student who was arrested on charges of sedition. Since he made his fiery speech on March 3, political parties made him the poster boy. They have been lining up to stake claim to his ideology, his oratory skills, and even his signature catchword--Azaadi.

All this while, poll bound states were calling dibs on him for their election campaigns, and now it seems advertisers are also not far behind.

In a distasteful advertisement that has gone viral, travel website Yatra.com is trying to sell its app-based offerings by using a Kanhaiya Kumar knock-off and his catch 'Azaadi' chant.of them charitable ambitions that nobody can disagree with.


The advertisement shows a man who is denied a window seat at the airport. He then takes to a mic and asks the crowd to demand freedom. The Yatra.com ad has a message: "Don't resort to sloganeering, use the app instead."

The chant went like this – “Meri behane maange Azaadi, meri bacchi maange Azaadi, naari ka naara Azaadi... (My sisters want freedom, my daughter wants freedom, every woman’s slogan is freedom)”.

The slogan assumed a cult status with the Left parties and other groups fighting against social injustices lapped it up to further their struggle.

Forget Kanhaiya Kumar, Malyalam singer Pushpavathy is the new face of 'Azadi' Months after Jawaharlal Nehru Students' Union (JNUSU) leader Kanhaiya Kumar rose to fame with Azadi slogans, famous Malayalam singer Pushpavathy Poypadathu's new song has given a new dimension to the inspiring slogans.

song ends with a tribute to the comarades with lyrics Laal Salaam, Red salute...Big salute to comrades. jai bheem laal salaam

Last year, Pepsi did a similar thing with its "Pepsi Thi Pi Gaya" campaign, which poked fun at the Film & Television Institute of India protests, showing a student unable to keep the hunger strike going because he couldn't stop himself from drinking the soft drink.
