<p>A few days after a Delhi University student took on rapper Honey Singh over his song lyrics, two Mumbai women have posted a video of themselves, which addresses the issues that women in India face. What is different? They are rapping about it. The video has received more than 60,000 views and counting on YouTube. Pankhuri Awasthi and Uppekha Jain, who describe themselves as actors and VJs and refer to themselves as BomBaebs, posted the 'Rap Against Rape' video on YouTube with the disclaimer, "This video doesn't have any explicit or bannable [sic] content. It is just that the reality for women in India in Explicit." en are seen holding up placards with words such as #DomesticViolence and #rape. In the rap, they describe themselves saying, "We're not rappers - no. We're just a couple of girls trying to open your eyes." "We just decided to shoot the video on Sunday, and uploaded it on Monday. Something got me angry about the way our society was handling issues related to women's safety. Pankhuri and I decided to contribute, through our profession, whatever little we could to change the mind-set to tackle the ironies in our society. The lyrics of the video came up from extensive research we had done through the internet, and newspapers which have been highlighting the issues of women's safety," Jain told reporters. They want society to "find new definitions for honour, dignity, respect and masculinity" instead of simply tweeting and plead for it to take action. </p>
