The 25-year-old Indian expatriate, decided to be a part of the campaign after reading about it in the newspaper. "I did not think sending a picture would be enough contribution. I wanted to do something more," he said.

Somanath uploaded the song on a blog, and hoped it would encourage more people to show their support.
