BHAPPI LAHIRI’S ICONIC SONG “JIMMY JIMMY” IS THE PROTEST ANTHEM IN CHINA
In the Chinese social media networks Douyin – the Chinese name for TikTok, the song composed by Lahiri and sung by Parvati Khan is sung in Mandarin “Jie mi, jie mi”, which translates into “Give me rice, give me rice”, by people in the videos mockingly showing empty vessels to show how they are deprived of essential food items during the lockdowns.
