Babar Mangi and Amjad Mirani have released the music video for their song ‘Sindhu Waadi’, a tribute to the Indus River, which has formed the basis of life in the Indus Valley for over 5,000 years. The song speaks of the river as an estranged mother to whom the singer is longing to return. The music video carries snippets of village life along the river’s banks, with children playing by mud huts. The song and its music video also carry a strong political message against the controversial project to draw canals from the Indus River to irrigate the Cholistan Desert. Throughout the music video and in the song’s lyrics, the artists’ love for the Indus River is evident, treating it less as a body of water and more as an entity to be revered.
