Kochi and Bob Marley

An unlikely combination? Not really. Revolutionary Telegu poet and Maoist ideologue Varavara Rao speaking at the inauguration of the sixth edition of 'Music and Resistance: Remembering Bob Marley' at Fort Kochi.

This annual program brings together writers, artistes, activists, students and the general public. Rao says the role of cultural activists, poets, writers and singers is that they 'should be the voice of the voiceless. That is the lesson we can learn from Bob Marley.'
