Puneet Sharma

Creator Context

Summary

Hindi poet, lyricist and screenwriter with a pronounced political and social-justice public persona. Sharma became widely known for Tum Kaun Ho Be, a protest poem associated with the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act demonstrations, and has repeatedly spoken about injustice, socioeconomic inequality and the political dimensions of art. In interviews, he has said that all writing reflects ideology, described political awareness as essential to understanding society, and acknowledged that his views have cost him professional opportunities. His lyrics and collaborations, including work with Swarathma and socially conscious film songs, often use citizenship, belonging, inequality and moral conflict as recurring concerns. He also writes across mainstream films, streaming projects and commercial music, so not every credit is activist or identity-driven. Still, the combination of public protest poetry, explicit criticism of injustice and a sustained belief that creative work is inherently political places him clearly above a generic liberal or humanitarian profile.
