An Apologetic Other ❤️

Dear brothers,

We are already living in a dystopia.This is an absolute end of ideologies.Our fate was decided on the very day when our parents named us with arabic,persian or urdu names.By this jingoistic narrative of the Fascist we have been reduced to just an identity.Now it's totally up to us whether we embrace it or stay at the state of denial before it's too late.

We are already in a psychological war.A war which effects us all whether we want it or not.A war that demands us to take a side,not between hindus and muslims it's not that easy.It's a choice between servitude and dignity.It's a choice between fairness and injustice.It's a choice between right and wrong. We cannot deal with it by falling to their prey and being apologetic for being what we are.

And by being apologetic I mean :

When 
We embrace 
the idea of surrender 
over the expense of your dignity,
We are being apologetic.

When 
We feel shame 
On the deeds of 
Some bigoted retards
Masquerading as the protectors
Of your religion,
We are being apologetic.

When
We unnecessarily abuse
some neighbouring countries
Just with the intention
To please our friend,
We are being apologetic.

When 
We compare
Savarkar and Jinnah
And held them as
Two aspects of the same coin,
We are being apologetic.

When 
We accept
Their sinister narrative
About Aurangazeb and Alauddin
Being cruel and monstorous
Despite the facts about them
Proving them as economic reformers 
Of this country,
We are being apologetic.

When
We accept that
The Pogroms in Delhi
And in Muzaffarnagar and Gujarat
Were just clashes of communities,
We are being apologetic.

When
We normalise
Lynchings and Lootings
Burning of the households
Massacres and shootings,
We are being apologetic.

When 
We accept
The baseless arrests of
Mr.Saifi,Imam and Khan
Who are fighting 
For the justice,
We are being apologetic.

When
We deny 
The need of the resistence
In this fight of our existence,
We are being apologetic.
