We are two communities divided by borders,
Both of us turned away from each other,
And who teaches this? Media!
Shit! I’m tryna use my music as a medium… Talha has proved these lines of Talha Anjum’s song ‘Jang-Wang’, released 5 years ago, to be true. Music knows No Bounds (Music has no boundaries) This was proved true when Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum waved the Indian flag during his concert in Nepal. This gesture of his touched the hearts of Indian fans and showed how much power music has to bring people of both the countries closer.

Hip-hop artist Talha Anjum has a huge fan base in India, her songs are heard more in India than in Pakistan and many of her songs have been in the top trend on Indian Spotify and YouTube. During the concert in Nepal, as soon as Talha Anjum was given the Indian flag by an Indian fan, he took it with great joy and started waving it during the show itself.

He also performed one of his songs with the Indian flag on his shoulder. After the video went viral, many people are criticizing him in Pakistan and saying that the martyrdom of Pakistanis who were martyred in the India-Pakistan conflict has been insulted.

This video of Talha Anjum is going viral on social media. But some users have also expressed objection to this. His music partner Talha Yunus standing with him also waved the Nepali flag, which showed respect to the host country and Nepali fans also started making noise along with the Indian fans.

Talha Anjum cannot perform in India

Indian fans of Talha Anjum often attend her concerts in Dubai or European countries. Since the show was being held in the neighboring country Nepal, a large number of Indian fans had come here. After the Uri attack on 18 September 2016, the Indian government had banned Pakistani artists. Because of which Talha is not able to do any show in India.

But once again his initiative has proved that art is the only thing which can connect the two neighboring countries. Let us tell you, after the recent conflict between India and Pakistan, the social media of many Pakistani leaders and artists has also been banned in India and Talha is also included in this list.

What feedback are users giving?

While this initiative of Talha Anjum is being praised everywhere, some users have also criticized her. Some users questioned his love for India and asked whether he can go to India and do his show? And said that India has also banned his social media. But most of the fans are happy with his move. One user commented on the video, “After this, respect for Talha Anjum has increased further.”

Talha Anjum is waving the Indian flag at a Nepal concert while #India blocks his Spotify & likely his YouTube — is a sad reminder of our own national decay.

Responding to critics, Talha Anjum wrote, “There is no room for hatred in my heart. My art has no limits. If my hoisting the Indian flag creates controversy, so be it.”

My heart has no place for hate. My art has no borders. If me raising an Indian flag sparks controversy so be it. Ill do it again..will never care about the media, the war mongering governments and their propagandas. Urdu Rap is and will always be borderless..🇵🇰 🇳🇵 🇮🇳
