'Drugs, Politicians, and Deluded Godmen'

Nihal

Available for over a year

The Bollywood film 'Udta Punjab', a drug-themed crime thriller, was recently in the middle of a huge controversy between filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and the country's censor board. The board said the film needed to be cut in various places because it shows the state of Punjab in a bad light by depicting the drug habits of its people. Ricky Bhandal, a substance misuse consultant, who with Kaka Mohanwalia from Dharam Seva Records have released the single 'Drugs, Politicians and Deluded Godmen'. The track's aim is to highlight an issue that is having a devastating effect on the people of Punjab. Ricky spoke to Nihal about the current drug problem. (Photo Credit: AFP/Getty Images)
