sad day

Medha Patkar was arrested, admitted in a hospital and an FIR lodged against her.
What was she doing ?
she was on satyagrah, satyagrah for something she believed in, something that she has been involved in for 20+ years.
Somehow, sometimes the voices of people need to be heard,
sometimes the giants have to pause and for a second look at the lives they are trampling.
Sometimes revolution has to be started
sometimes a blood bath is needed
sometimes wheels have to be set in motion
people have to rise and become giants

Nobody should be allowed to rule us. nobody should be allowed to monitor. we have to rise above this feeling, this need, of order. Nobody wants to be killed, raped, duped, defrauded. no body wants to be ruled. If each one of us understands it, and accepts it, we will resolve all the issues we have.
