Even as doctors and citizens protest over the Kolkata rape and murder case, a Mumbai-based hip-hop singer has expressed his thoughts through a song called Silent Screams. Cajetan Reddy, aka Catzbak, a hip-hop artist from Diva, has sparked a wave of emotions through a tribute song to the doctor who was brutally raped and murdered. It’s also a call to action to ensure the safety and security of women in India. The song begins with the harrowing details of the doctor’s tragic demise. Catzbak’s powerful lyrics weave a narrative that is both personal and universal, speaking about the collective pain and outrage.
The song’s lyrics are a scathing critique of the societal norms and attitudes that perpetuate gender-based violence and discrimination. Catzbak raps about the silent screams of women who became victims of such crimes, demanding that their voices be heard and their rights be protected. Reddy, a 38-year-old hip-hop artist, lives in Diva, Thane, and is a father of two daughters and a husband of a nurse working at Hinduja Hospital, Mahim. “It’s an unimaginable loss, not just for her family, but for the entire nation,” he said.
