India's Reggae Resistance: Defending Dissent Under Modi



An Indian reggae musician builds a Jamaican-style sound system to energise a wave of protests defending free speech.


Indian musician Taru Dalmia is convinced his reggae sounds can play a role in political activism, and decides it's time to act when a wave of protests erupts at universities across India.  
To take his music into the hearts of rallies and communities, he raises money to build a giant sound system and hits the road.  

Taru hopes his hand-built stack of speakers can support protesters alleging that free speech is being suppressed under Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government.
