A little change in Martin Niemöller's original piece supported the French Revolution but the truth of the present situation.
So, Why is it important to boost our voice? to face for something? To fight for what's right?
I would say...you have to seek out your reason. Big or small but a reason nonetheless because I can show you what's there to fight for, but why? that's your search. As an informed citizen of the world's greatest democracy, you ought to remember enough to understand why the founders gave us the essential democraticalright offree speech and expression.
We live during a time of unending protests and disagreements. Be it in Shaheen Bhag or JMU. In an organisation or on Delhi borders. So what might be the rationale for therefore much dispute across the country? Or as our government once used the word "misled", is everyone across various sectors be it, students, medical staffs, farmers, activists, are all being misled? Or is that the exact opposite?
If you understand that latter is that the case and what's happening isn't right, then who is to blame?
HEAD OF THE COUNTRY?
GOVERNING PARTY?
NEWS CHANNELS?
OR
US?
Was it not us who, maybe not for long except for a period of your time believed CAA/NRC protestors as anti-national? Students as terrorists? and therefore the most up-to-date farmers as jihadis or Khalistani? Oh well if you continue to do then maybe through your glasses India may be a booming nation,
When I say us, I mean about all the time we watched an anchor shouting about Bollywood and related taking us far away from the dropping GDP and lost immigrant data.
Once we spent hours watching a person calling Hathras case as love mingle and blaming the girl for getting raped.
Once we praised the government for all the recent construction and didn't ask one question and therefore the last but not the smallest amount, believing all the WhatsApp forward stupidly twice.
All the time once we nodded at 9 pm news, new policy, new arrests without educating ourself aside from through mainstream media...we added another two cents within the country's destruction and towards our own. Not saying I do know quite, or my opinions are right. But blind faith or during this case blind patriotism never begin as helpful.
If you select to face up for something, then educate yourself about it instead of following what the system says. I can't tell you why to face for or against any particular notion but we will surely ask ourselves and therefore the system, why to support you and what all have you ever done after the last time you bought that support.
Sitting within the front room and watching television while eating dinner together with your family and saying "yeh apne desh mei kya ho rha re?" then going back to sleep to continue living like a day isn't being a citizen.
If today you aren't doing anything then tomorrow you don't get to complain about loss or wish for a far better world, because you never worked for it. So if we aren't standing for any argument or giving our blind support then can't blame it all on the government only, but it's us who have done it and we deserve it.
We've made a rustic where students get beaten up, where a thing like love-jihad exists, where he, the one providing us food are called terrorist, where a woman can leave in the dark with none fear, where your surname decides your home within the country and where soon the rich are going to be richer and therefore the poor are going to be poorer.
Yeah, we deserve all of that.
