Scales with the harmonium
Professional musician Neeraj plays the harmonium to give the children the notes to warm up and learn the scales.
Recording Daulat
Neeraj instructs the children to listen and sing carefully, as he strums energetically and the children sing the vehement song that questions wealth, status, luck, fate, gender discrimination and claims that we as children aren’t bothered with all these differences, in this world of liars we continue to speak the truth.
