As people continue to call out the government for suppressing the right to protest and dissent, singer and songwriter Ankur Tewari has penned a powerful poem in support of anti-CAA protests.
The poem, which he shared on social media via Instagram and Twitter, is titled Woh Hum Nahin, and talks about what the current generation stands for.
Jo mazhab ke bahaaneAapas mein lad rahe hainWoh hum nahinApno ko peeche chhodAage jo chal padeWoh hum nahin
