Respect thy leaders

I came across a movie called Manto. That reminded me of an activist called Safdar Hashmi who was killed. For being an activist. 

So those who spoke against the establishment were being punished by the government in old days too. But what is new is the hatred for such people by common men and women

Our country has been honouring and respecting intellectuals, thinkers, writers. We used to respect them. We might not have followed their ideals being commons as we are. But now we dislike these same people, attack them for their opinions and firmly believe that they are trying to divide our country - tukade tukade gang!!

Their place has been taken by politicians. Now we respect, idolise or even deify these politicians. And firmly believe that they are going to bring back the old glory of our country.

Ah, the decline has begun!!!
