Kodaikanal Won’t fame, Sofia Ashraf, in this powerful and persuasive talk speaks about standing up against the social injustice. Content creator by profession and rapper by digression, this Tamil girl rose to fame by getting 591 families compensated from Hindustan Unilever Limited. This talk gives an insight into the 15 year old struggle of various NGOs which played a key-role in the protest. As a little girl, Sofia started with rhymes about her identity wearing a hijab. The video talks about 2 of her famous creations, ‘Kodaikanal Won’t’ and ‘Don’t work for DOW’ which were presented in Justice Rocks, a protest rock show. The talk focuses upon the downs of being a female in the field of music, importance of being an audience, the power of art, music and much more.

Tamil rapper Sofia Ashraf is the headliner on today’s show as she talks about her claim to fame 'Kodaikanal Won’t’, Justice Rocks, saving a tree, & ice-cream sandwiches. Also on the bill are Kolkata indie pop-rock outfit that talk about young love in their debut record, and new avatar of an older band from Kolkata that are doing mellower alt-rock.
