Education is what empowered them to think independently. We have raised them to have a voice. In a thriving democracy, to raise one’s voice peacefully and be met with violence is wrong. Every voice counts. And each voice will work towards changing India. #HaveVoiceWillRaise #HaveVoiceMustRaise.”

I might not think it protest worthy, but I did say I’m not a supporter of #CAA, waaaay back here. https://t.co/sTufEsNLYq
But please don’t let that stop anyone from outraging.

Don’t Be Silent, Don’t Be Violent.— Vishal Bhardwaj (@VishalBhardwaj) December 17, 2019
Sometimes I really think of responding to this troll sena that can’t bear the fact that I am a secular citizen of India and very proud of it. But that would mean giving importance where it is just not deserved.
