*Why act?*
They came for the Kashmiri Muslims, you stayed silent
They came for the Sikhs, you stayed silent
They came for the Indian Muslims, you stayed silent
They came for the Dalits, you stayed silent
They came for the Christians, you stayed silent
They came for the LGBTQ community, you stayed silent
They came for the women from these communities, you stayed silent
They came for the women of your own communities, you stayed silent
I won’t threaten that anyone is coming for you and hence you should act
If anything, threat to survival is not the only thing that should make you act
It is the love for justice; love for the living throbbing beings that should make you act
If that doesn’t move you without being roused, keep sitting the way you do.
That is punishment enough.
We will conquer this our way.
