Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha and actor Manoj Bajpayee have come together to make a Bhojpuri rap on the country’s poor migrant population.

The song, called ‘Bambai mein kya ba’, features Manoj Bajpayee and is a social commentary on the dire state of poor migrants in the sprawling metropolis of Mumbai. The song makes it clear at the very outset that Bambai, or Mumbai, is a metaphor for every metropolitan city in the country.

The song, released by T-Series, has 46K likes on Youtube.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
