Video by Naveen Razak, Janaki Omkumar inspires a dance movement against hate
Thiruvananthapuram:
In Kerala, an Instagram reels video of two medical students – Naveen K Razak and Janaki M Omkumar – has inspired a dance movement against hate.
The two students received a lot of love and encouragement after posting a 30-second clip dancing to the cult song Rasputin of Boney M. But amidst all the applause, the video also received some hateful comments by users calling attention to their religion.
Naveen’s Razak responded by releasing another video with other students of “Vikings” – Thrissur Medical College’s dance group, refusing to verbally respond to hateful comments. The new video features more dancers dancing to the same song and the original reels accompany the video as well as the message of ‘diversity in unity’. It was posted on a social media post with the caption: “If you have decided to hate, we have decided to protest”.
