For years, Daniel Langthasa was the North East’s sharpest mirror. With a guitar and a viral persona, he used satire as a ‘social technology’ to dismantle power.

Running as the NPP candidate for Haflong, Daniel is trading the screen for the seat—fighting a grassroots battle against the massive machinery of the BJP and Congress.
