News 18<\/a>, Mohit says the song was born out of years spent living close to nature and animals, coupled with a growing sadness at how strays are increasingly viewed as inconveniences rather than living beings. \u201cThe idea came from a sense of pain, empathy, and responsibility,\u201d he shared. \u201cFor years, I shared my life with animals and nature. When I realised we no longer see them as living beings or souls, but as problems to be solved, it deeply disturbed me.\u201d<\/p>\nThe tipping point, he explains, came amid recent public debates surrounding the relocation of stray dogs. The tone of these discussions, Mohit felt, lacked compassion and completely erased the animals\u2019 presence from the narrative. \u201cWhen the issue of relocation came up, all those emotions found their way into this song. I felt I could become the voice of the voiceless. In all the discussions about relocating them or treating them in inhumane ways, their voice was missing. That\u2019s when I decided to express it through music,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Written by Prarthana Gehlot, the lyrics of Meri Aawaaz are designed to provoke thought rather than place blame. Mohit describes the song as a reminder of values deeply rooted in Indian culture. He added that compassion, kindness, and respect for life have always been deeply rooted in Indian traditions. While he is unsure whether the song will influence policy decisions, he believes its purpose will be fulfilled if it encourages even a few people to pause, reflect, and respond with empathy.<\/p>\n
