Who is Santi Sharma? The Rapper Facing Death Threats Over Reservation Reform!
Rapper Santi Sharma's Bold Stand on Reservation Reform
Independent rapper Santi Sharma, born Ganesh Sharma on September 9, 1996, in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, has recently made headlines after claiming he received death threats due to his candid opinions on reservation reform. He embarked on his musical journey around 2014 and quickly gained traction in the independent music scene with popular tracks such as "Sunni Sunni Sco" and "Udan," both available on YouTube. Over the years, he has released a variety of songs, including the commercial hit "Pet Daru," and his debut studio album, "Reborn," is set to launch in 2025. Additionally, he has ventured into Bollywood, contributing a rap anthem for the comedy film "Houseful 5" in the same year.
Sharma's influence extends beyond music; he has been vocal on social media about reservation and student issues. Earlier this month, he initiated a campaign called "Reservation Hat August Granti," aimed at raising public awareness on reservation topics. This initiative was introduced during a press conference in Andheri West, Mumbai, where he received support from actor Punit Vasra, known for his appearance on "Big Boss."
After making statements regarding reservation reform, Sharma reported receiving death threats. He took to Instagram to voice his concerns, stating, "I am receiving death threats just because I'm speaking about reservation reform and asking questions that people don't want to hear. I am not against any student or any community. I'm only asking for a fair and honest discussion on the reservation system." He reiterated his determination to address perceived injustices, asserting, "Threats won't silence me. If speaking the truth comes with a price, I'm ready to pay it. Stay strong and keep asking questions."
Moreover, Sharma's name has been associated with the upcoming season of "Big Boss 20," which will be hosted by Salman Khan. However, his involvement in the show has yet to be officially confirmed by the producers. As he balances his roles in independent rap, Bollywood music, and social activism, Santi Sharma continues to captivate audiences, leaving fans curious about his next steps.
