Creative Works & Cultural Archive

Co-founding the Dakhnistan ecosystem and anchoring Neelasandra's sovereign hip-hop infrastructure.

Rooted in the central Bengaluru neighbourhood of Neelasandra, my creative work moves beyond sanitized pop aesthetics to document and defend localized realities. As an active collaborator and audio contributor within Clan Bokka Phod (CBP) and the Wanandaf movement, the objective has never been commercial assimilation—it is linguistic and cultural preservation. Operating out of Dakhnistan Studios on the fourth floor of a Neelasandra bylane, our work uses sharp cadence, uncompromised Dakhni-Urdu vernacular, and community-driven street cyphers to push back against majoritarian erasure and commercial tokenization.
