"Deshta Tomar Baper Naki" (Bengali: দেশটা তোমার বাপের নাকি, lit. 'Does the country belong your father') is a 2022 Bengali language protest song by the Bangladeshi singer Moushumi Chowdhury, and composed by the Bangladeshi composer Ethun Babu.[1] The song gained popularity during the July Revolution of Bangladesh and the RG Kar Hospital rape and murder protests in India.
Moushumi Chowdhury first sung the song in 2022 in the context of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-led anti-government protests against Sheikh Hasina.[2] However, singer Ruksar Rahman claimed that she first performed the song in stage, though the song was recorded in Moushumi's voice.[3] Moushumi faced threats from the Hasina government after the release of the song, and she had leave her home for Dhaka for security purpose.[2]
