Ramcharit Rap

Lord Ram is ruling the weeks in the run up to Dussehra, courtesy Ramleelas around the town. How about putting the same story in rap? Bollywood singer, actor and producer Someshwar Narayan Sharma aka Someshwar Mahadevan aka Singer Sam visited Chandigarh and announced the release of the world’s first Ramayana-based rap — Ramcharit Rap. This innovative six-minute rap fuses traditional Indian culture with modern Western music styles, covering all seven Kands of the Ramayana.

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).
