INDIAN β The word evokes a whole lot of emotions and patriotism in most of us. We feel proud of the fact that we are united despite the vast differences in customs across different states. But do we really show solidarity when a fellow citizen needs us. Sadly the answer is a stern no.
A whole lot of us have fallen prey to media sensationalism. We support causes which the media wants us to support. The rest go to the garbage bin. The truth is we hardly care when an issue comes up in some remote corner of the country. It doesnβt bother me so why take a stand. Let me tell you that being silent when you know that you can lend a helping hand is a crime
No I am not asking you to raise your voice, protest or take sides but the least you can do is atleast share to let people know. This is not anger just disappointment at the silence of my fellow citizens. Sometimes a small step can save a life. We listen to the voice of an actor for a change why not hear the plea of a voter

Our media knows our weakness and they know how to exploit it. Its time we look into issues and decide on what we want to support or not using our brains and not because of media hype.
