While the above video, which is part of this campaign seems to be a comical take on what the ground situation is, by no means is it trivializing the emotions associated with the project. Sometimes in life one requires to take the refuge of satire to express the frustration of the helplessness that reality smothers you with. It however does not in any way dilute the serious message and the sincere plea we are making to you to join this fight – a fight not for anyone else but for your own freedom which gets threatened if someone else’s does..
We now live in a world where what you don’t do, weighs more on the outcome of our world rather than what we actively do! Unfortunately most of us succumb to the ‘What difference will I make’. ‘What difference will my vote make’? ‘What difference will my voice make’? ‘What difference will my stance make?’
‘I am just ONE’
Helen Keller perhaps had heard it too, when she said ‘I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything will not refuse to do the something that I can do’
It is up to you, do you want to be just another ONE who did nothing or be SomeONE who decided to not just do NOThing…
We made our choice; what will yours be…
Write to your local papers and ask them to cover the case, write to the editor of your local paper and press for justice to be delivered, see to it that the media covers the news and keeps it alive in the conscience of the nation, make others aware of the facts and the ground realities of this case, sign petitions, make your voice be heard and counted someway somehow. You owe this to your nation and to your own freedom…
Won’t Forget, Will Not Let Others Either…

Human psyche is quite complicated. On one hand we drastically underestimate the potential of an individual while at the same time we are looking out for that very single individual who is supposed to have the key to the solutions of all our problems. This contrast amazes me. The stance of the sociologist who are focused on the collective powers & don’t give much weight to individuals have in my view point helped us satisfy our sleeping conscious. After all isn’t it too easy to quote as reference the life long research of such individuals, resultant of which makes us feel as the most powerless beings entangled in the web of this cruel society. But isn’t the presence of aliens on our planet part of the numerous conspiracy theories that we love to indulge in? If so, then that means that this society is a product of these very powerless beings, entangled in the web of their own creation.
Sorry for busting the bubble, but the bitter reality is that no one is going to come from outside to help us out of this web. This has to be done by individuals. Institutes will reflect the core values of the individuals it comprises. And the institution under consideration here resides at the heart of every other. Absence of justice results in the demise of societies. You’ll be agreeing to this however, you’ll also be adding that as this case is not part of your society so why bother?
Nobody needs a reminder that we live in a very interconnected world, we can’t afford to remain insensitive to such acts of injustice no matter where they take place because in some way or other the results will have an effect on our lives & those we hold close to our hearts. Let’s shun our reluctance & act as responsible individuals so that this very attitude gets incorporated in our system.
Won’t Forget, Will Not Let Others Either…
