I read this article on Desicritics.org about a Madhavi Kapoor who wanted to sell her flat in Pune and found that her efforts were being thwarted because her buyer was a Muslim. You can read the whole article here.
From this article, I came to know about a poem by Martin Neimoller which goes thus :
They came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a CommunistThen they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew
Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Trade Unionist
Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic
Then they came for me and by that time, there was no one left to speak up!!
Yea... Moral is speak up even if you are not affected. That might cause a lot o trouble.. but... what the hell...
ReplyDeleteIf you are scared of "trouble" then I guess its better to take all the punishment you can and follow dogma. Keep swallowing
