Aalu Anday

Anday Aalu ("Potato and eggs") is a satirical rock song by Pakistani group Beygairat Brigade, based in Lahore.

The song Aalu Anday challenges censorship and the celebration of violence in Pakistan (particularly from its leaders) with references including: The video, released in October 2011, includes handwritten signs that offer further controversial references, as well as predicting the kind of physical or political retribution the band may expect to suffer as a result of the video's dissemination.

The Economist wrote that "Pakistanis thrilled over a music video, available online, in which young singers poke fun at politicians, army chiefs" and more.

[1] 'The New York Times' says the song "takes a tongue-in-cheek swipe at religious extremism, militancy and contradictions in Pakistani society", "as a rare voice of the country’s embattled liberals."

It "delivers biting commentary on the current socio-political milieu of the country", and "rues the fact that killers and religious extremists are hailed as heroes in Pakistan".
