Zombies : Un-dead creatures walking around with no consciousness
We are zombies, when we:
Stay silent upon seeing school girls stripped of their dignity & education
Choose to turn away when people’s homes are razed to ground on mere suspicion
Smirk at the rampant hate speech discourses against the “Others”
Rejoice at the plight of these poor others (here, here, here, here), who are “put in their places” (for those lazy beings – it is about others’ food, economics, freedom of religion)
Vote not based on bread & butter issues but on communal lines
Gleefully accept the withering away of “Rule of Law“
Remember You pliant bigot
Hate eats you in the long run
Your off-springs will be eaten away too
The fascists always look for an “other” to divert people’s attention from burning issues such as inequality
Soon, you could be the next OTHER
When you become one, no one will be there for you. (Read this famous poem from 1930s)
To the Political Parties
If you don’t openly condemn these acts and stand with oppressed on the ground, rest assured you will be made “Other” first, before any common people are made (i.e. in case if you haven’t been othered already)
Bonus: A nice article on what could happen if current trend goes on
