Testing times these are -I agree,
but they say we, of course need thee,
As though we were to be tied like cattle,
Tight lips, necks down, and follow unrattled.
A measure of a great democracy or good governance is
not that “we all agree” to policies,
programs or verdicts, but the correct measure is the
“ ease by which one can voice its dissent”.
I am not sure, what to make of the last few years of this government,
but the fact, that the Religion&Cast are the top measures,
while looking for a clear Mandate- is Horrifying.
To be honest, I am scared by the sheer audacity of these measures,
and how much they affect our presence in this world.

We have whole array of problems in this country
such as - health care, education, infrastructure,
Women Safety, Sanitation, jobs and more,
but none of these made it to the top of the list.
We have common issues, common pet peeves,
but somehow, we connect the most with
our dissimilarities. Moreover, when we voice the wrong doing,
we are termed as “Unpatriotic”.

We are the only nation where a Muslim is lynched,
and the perpetrators are slow clapped
to their way to the jail- and somehow killing a cow (an animal)
can result into an extrajudicial Death,
but killing a Man of a different faith- is applauded by garlands.

With the new government began- the era of descending dissent, t
he fact that we are either discouraged by certain factions,
to disagree with the people who represent us,
the fact that we are disarmed by the truth and swayed,
so that we stay occupied in this so called rat race,
and only pick up our heads when our race/faith is in dire need,
and the fact that we respond and call it Honour, survival, religious sacrifice
or other fancy adjectives is nothing but a “charade”.

We know we are different, we understand that our difference defines us sometimes,
but we can’t forget that that our similarities unites us every time,
and I hope that we can remember that next time.
The descending dissent is the reason we see plummeting growth, fractured faith and
powerless electorate.
