Sofia Ashraf’s earlier video, ‘Kodaikanal Won’t’ had targeted Hindustan Unilever. “There’s water, water everywhere / corroding our copperware / It’s so polluted, quit deluding.”This isn’t the first time the Chennai-based artist has used rhymes to call on multinationals to act. Her 2015 rap video “Kodaikanal Won’t” took aim at Unilever, calling on the company to help former workers at a thermometer plant in the Tamil Nadu hill resort of Kodaikanal. Her 2008 song called “Don’t Work For Dow” urged engineering students to ignore company recruiters on college campuses. The latest song takes the Indian complaint abroad urging the U.S. government to force Dow to offer more in compensation and clean up.
