Activist poet Nikhil Sankar is one to watch

Nikhil Sankar

Twenty-year-old socio-political activist Nikhil Sankar is known for his posts on social media and writing letters to various newspapers, but he is also a singer, writer and poet, whose name was recently buzzing after he performed his patriotic poem, “Motherland” on the Guyana Learning Channel.

When the creative team at the Guyana Learning Channel reached out, Nikhil said he thought to himself that many of the works on Guyana already speak of its beauty. While “Motherland” was written in the same vein, he also provided a balance with Guyana’s history and lifestyle.
