? Taanahshah Aake Aaayenge
Hum Kaagaz Nahin Dikhaayenge
Varun Grover might just?have given the anti-CAA and NRC protests?its anthem.?
The country is boiling in fear and fire since the Citizenship Amendment Bill was passed in both houses of the Parliament. People fear that it discriminates on the basis of religion and the CAA combined with NRC will lead to further marginalisation of Muslims.?
Many celebs from the Hindi movie film industry have been speaking up against the CAA and NRC vehemently among which Anurag Kashyap has been the most active. However, others have been contributing to the protest in their own way among which is the writer of Sacred Games and a known critic of the Modi government- Varun Grover.?
Last night, he posted a video of his narrating a poem/song written by him titled, ¡®hum kaagaz nahin dikhaayenge¡¯. He tweeted the video with the caption, ¡®Inspired by the spirit of every protestor and India-lover. With hat-tips to Rahat Indori saab and the Bangla slogans.

In the poem, he talks speaks on behalf of the protesters. He posted the translation along which goes like-?
Dictators will come and go
The NRC paper, we won't show
Dictators will come and go
The NRC paper, we won't show
You blind us with tear gas
You poison our waters
That our love will sweeten
And we'll drink it all in a go
The NRC paper, we won't show
The NRC paper, we won't show
This nation is all we got
Where Ram Prasad is also 'Bismil'
How will you divide the motherland
That has blood and sacrifice of every Indian
Raise your batons all you can
Shut down every train you can
We will walk, we will flow
The NRC paper, we won't show
We will pitch our tents here?
The NRC paper, we won't show
We will save the constitution before we go
The NRC paper, we won't show
We will sing the National anthem bro
The NRC paper, we won't show
You will try to divide us by caste and religion
United, we will keep demanding food and truth
The NRC paper, we won't show
The NRC paper, we won't show
