💨 Abstract

Vedan, a 30-year-old Dalit rapper in Kerala, was arrested twice in quick succession, first for possession of a small amount of ganja and later for wearing a chain with a suspected tiger's tooth, leading to accusations of targeting for his caste and politics. His debut album, Voice of the Voiceless, released in June 2020, aimed at challenging casteism and amplifying marginalized voices.
