RPG Group present #KarDikha India - an action manifesto that reimagines freedom as a responsibility
PRNewswire
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14: Freedom finds a fresh beat this Independence Day. Kar Dikha -- a spoken word and rap anthem by RPG Group -- redefines azaadi for today's India: not as a moment in history, but as a daily responsibility. RPG Group emphasizes the call to show up, take ownership, and shape a better India, stating: azaadi sirf paane ki nahi, nibhane ki bhi kahani hai.
The music video draws from real stories across RPG Group and Mumbai -- factory workers keeping industry moving, neurodivergent employees at Raychem RPG breaking stereotypes, Pehlay Akshar children finding their voice, Koli women entrepreneurs driving change, and Worli's youth using hip-hop to reclaim their narrative.
"Freedom is not just a gift we inherit, it's a duty we live every day. Kar Dikha is our call to every Indian to turn that duty into action," saysUdayan Dutt, President - Group HR, RPG Enterprises.
The video embodies RPG Group's values of Touching Lives and Hello Happiness, measuring progress not in numbers, but in the lives uplifted.
Composed and produced by Mumbai hip-hop pioneer Instine, with verses by Yeda Anna (Maddy), the track blends Indian sounds with modern beats -- a soundscape where grit meets hope. Shot by Alphabooom, the video is a tribute to everyday courage that rarely makes headlines.
"This wasn't just a track -- it's an action manifesto set to music. Collaborating with RPG, every note was shaped to carry unity and every beat to echo courage. Independence isn't just about waving a flag, it's about standing up together and hold that hope for a better, brighter, happier India," said Instine, the project's executive producer.
With its unapologetic tone and raw energy, Kar Dikha speaks directly to Gen Z and young India -- asking them to own the nation's future. This is our country; the responsibility to keep it moving forward is on us.
"Collaborating with RPG felt magical. Seeing how deeply we are connected through this initiative was inspiring. I'm grateful to be part of something so impactful," said Yeda Anna.
The music video is now streaming on YouTube and major platforms, with short form edits on Instagram Reels, LinkedIn and more.

Are we going to the dogs? Hope so, writes Vir Das
There was a time when the phrase stand-up comedy meant very little to India. And then came Vir Das. Who not only showed us that India had a funny bone, but that she was not afraid to laugh at herself. Comedy before 2004 was an indulgence for the older generation and an alien art form to the younger. Vir brought in a young, raw and edgy brand of comedy, and got the youth to follow it. Like his name, Vir went bravely where no one had gone before - politicians, prime ministers, super celebrities, actors, sex, family, kids no one was safe from his rapier wit. Audiences lapped it up and even as comedy on television was plumbing the depths of mediocrity and recycled jokes, Vir brought wit, originality, edginess, and sophistication to Indian stand-up comedy. He was last seen in Delhi Belly, read on to get an insight into this quick witted actor and stand-up comedian's mind. LESS ... MORE We live in decidedly strange times when comedians are writing in newspapers. Not sure what that says about the state of the nation. Some might say we are 'going to the dogs'. I'm not going to lie, I hope we do. People far smarter than me will tell you about humane animal birth control, data on what happens to dogs abandoned in shelters, how culling largely captures innocent non-aggressive dogs, or how massive amounts of funding, time, and resources are required for effective sterilisation, vaccination and rehabilitation drives. Experts have spent this week screaming from the rooftops. I'm not as accomplished or remotely as intelligent. But as someone who has adopted indies off the streets, and as an emotional idiot, here's what I can tell you. I could tell you a dog looks at idiots like me and geniuses like you in the exact same way. It doesn't care how smart you are. And isn't love at its purest the ignorance of someone's stupidity? I could tell you dogs don't like screaming and loud voices, so weirdly, a dog values quality journalism more than an Indian who watches primetime television. I could tell you that a dog doesn't get upset at random tariffs. To them an orange blonde making loud noises is a toy full of stuffing, not himself. A troll doll, not just a troll. I could tell you everything is upward to a dog. The average height of Indian men is 5 ft 8 inches, but to a pet, we are all Bachchans. I could tell you a dog poops between one and three times a day. In a sea of shit content, quite literally a 'content creator'. I could tell you that dogs don't know what your religion is, and yet they are capable of worship, because they see a god in you everyday. I could tell you a dog doesn't know about generational wealth or how much your wedding cost. They measure inequality in scratches and rubs. I could tell you a dog doesn't care about your 'drip', the one hanging off their chin is longer. A 'fit check' is whether they can successfully fit under your armpit. I could tell you that dogs pick up on kindness. They're a great barometer for who should be in your life. They sniff enough A-holes to recognise them. I could tell you that a generation that sends dogs to an early doom is going to crave that kind of love in their later years. I could tell you that the sound of panting in your ears is far more informative than a podcast. I could tell you that a dog has no political ideology and if you put a bird in front of it, it will eat the left wing as quickly as the right one. When a dog chooses a leader, it follows them with respect, not fear or greed. I could tell you that when a dog lies next to you, it scientifically increases your body temperature, and that in our educational system, it would take you nine years to get three extra degrees. I could tell you that dogs are capable of love, not likes. With LITERAL engagement and triple the dopamine. I could tell you that dogs feel anger, not hate. And therefore, every single dog, given time and resources, is capable of being trained to respect humans and their boundaries. Anger is merely fear in the present. Hatred is fear from the past, poisoning the future. Anger passes, hate sticks. I could tell you that everything you love about a dog can be found triple-fold in our Indian indies. More than any other breed in the world. That they belong in your home, in your sight, on your mind, on your lap. I could tell you that when we forget dogs, they remember. I could beg you that it's easier to adopt an indie, than an ideology. I could tell you that a dog sitting in the corner creates safety, and us standing in their corner will too. I could tell you that a dog will sometimes keep you up at night. But if we collectively abandon them, I'm not sure how we will sleep at night. I could tell you bullets have strays, indies have communities. I could tell you a dog doesn't have to be in your home for you to be their home. God willing if you let them in, you can watch your home become someone's entire world. Every single thing that is good about us as a nation, as Indians, can be found mirrored back to us in tiny eyes under flopping ears. EVERYTHING. I hope we can be what THEY see. I hope we DO go to the dogs. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.

‘I wasn't supposed to feel gareeb in India': Dubai vlogger left shocked after Rs 1,000 chai in Mumbai
A Dubai-based Indian travel vlogger has gone viral for something most NRIs can relate to — the shock of returning home and finding India anything but 'cheap.' Parikshit Balochi, a radio presenter and content creator, recently posted a candid Instagram video about how the cost of living back home has left him stunned. His witty yet exasperated rant, especially about a cup of tea that set him back Rs 1,000, has already crossed half a million his video, Balochi confessed that earning in dirhams always gave him the impression that India would be his playground for carefree spending. 'I am an NRI, I was not supposed to feel gareeb (poor) in India,' he said, sounding equal parts amused and frustrated. But instead of feeling wealthy, the inflated bills in Mumbai hotels and cafés have made him rethink the entire NRI privilege. Nothing captured his disbelief better than the price of a humble cup of tea. 'Rs 1,000 is what we used to put on the stock market when I left India. What is happening?' he explained that the unspoken 'deal' NRIs had with India was simple — come home, convert dirhams to rupees, and live like royalty. He said that converting dirhams into rupees was supposed to make him feel richer, not leave him shocked. Instead of showing off his wealth, he now jokes that he might actually need flexible payment plans just to survive the a mix of satire and genuine worry, Balochi ended his rant by pointing out how much money locals must be managing to spend daily. 'Yahan pe logon se puch raha hun, kitna paisa hai bhai tumhare paas,' he said, marvelling at how residents navigate this reality.
