🇮🇳🇵🇰 Written in 2017 ~ I think I cared about the world we live in enough to say something, but I also know that 6 years ago I still belonged to a country where it was acceptable to raise your voice, to have conflicting opinions, to ask questions and demand better opportunities for yourself and your people - your rights were supposed to be fought for. The cynical in me wants to just shut down till the day is over, but in reality that’s just privilege - not everybody can shut down from their realities… the ability to care less, is no reason to do it. Wanting a better world for our children shouldn’t be an option when we’re the ones carving the path for a younger generation that looks at us and wonders why we gave up so easily? Did we not care enough simply because we wouldn’t be alive long enough to see it? What about their future? What about their human rights? A younger, less jaded Saloni took immense amount of pride and power in the fact that they can take everything they want from you but they cannot take away your voice. A more hopeful Saloni reminded women that this voice, is all we have, whether we whisper or we scream is up to us but it’s still a choice we’re making. Today’s Saloni isn’t sometimes sure of the consequences and the penalties we pay, but the reality is that maybe - just maybe… that’s what they want us to think? They want you to think that the price you pay for speaking will be too high, and you almost forget that the reason you’re being threatened into silence is because that very voice of yours, can shake an entire system built on nothing but fear and hatred. Fragile enough to crumble in its own man made borders. Your love, is unity. Your love, is your criticism. Your love, is your desire to change the world we live in. Your love is demanding more from the people you chose to protect your land and your love, will give courage to those that need your voice right now more than ever before because the world we live in isn’t only being divided, it is being erased and forgotten from our very history. And I hope we find the compassion and courage to do something 🤍 #happyindependenceday #equality #unityindiversity #democracy
