Less than 48 hours after Safdar's death, Janam returned to the scene of the killing and completed the interrupted play - led by Moloyashree, actor, theatre activist and Safdar's wife. Two people were killed in this attack - a young migrant worker from Nepal, Ram Bahadur, and Janam's charismatic leader, the playwright-actor-director-lyricist Safdar Hashmi. On January 1, 1989, the Delhi-based theatre group Jana Natya Manch (Janam) was attacked by political goons while performing its street play Halla Bol. The podcast features guest actors, archival interviews and rare recordings, of even Safdar's own voice.It was a killing that shocked a nation. Artist and activist Safdar Hashmi's short and rich life is narrated by Sudhanva Deshpande from his book, Halla Bol: The Death and Life of Safdar Hashmi.
