To voice their concerns, students at Dhaka University staged a lively protest by dancing and blasting music outside the administration office regarding noise pollution issues.
Protesting to make their complaint heard, students at Bangladesh's Dhaka University chose a very unique and literal way to ensure that the administration understood their grievances.
In a now-viral video, the students can be seen blasting music on speakers and dancing outside a university building, reportedly the Vice Chancellor's office, to protest the lack of action on their noise pollution complaint.
But the protestor's choice of song is what caught the attention of social media users. The Bangladeshi students chose Haryanvi singer and Bigg contestant Sapna Choudhary's hit song ‘Teri Aakhya Ka Yo Kajal’ as their protest anthem.

Why are Dhaka University students protesting?
According to social media posts, the students from the girls' hostel on the campus had complained of “noise pollution” surrounding their building. However, they alleged that the Vice Chancellor of Dhaka University did not take their complaints seriously.
Therefore, the students put loudspeakers outside the VC's office to register their protest and make the VC take their complaints more seriously.
The caption of the Instagram post read: “Dhaka University VC allegedly didn't take action against noise pollution near the female hall, so female students put loudspeakers in front of VC house.”
Here's how netizens reacted:
As the video went viral, several netizens were left surprised at the student's style of protest,
A user said: "Bangladeshi students playing Haryanvi songs to protest wasn’t on my bingo card."
"This is the smartest way of protest," another added.
Protests over quotas
Earlier this year, Dhaka University witnessed mass protests over the quota on government jobs, which later turned violent.
The students had demanded an end to a quota that reserves 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans of Bangladesh’s 1971 War of Independence 1971 but had turned violent as protesters clashed with counter-protests and police at Dhaka University, leaving several injured and at least 175 dead.
These protests also led to the ouster of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
