How have we reached such a terrible national situation today? Where friends look at one another with distrust, neighbours peep into each other’s houses with suspicion and mobs rule the streets with police fishing bodies out of Delhi drains?
It all begins when we are too much of a coward to speak out about smaller wrongs!
Just behind the home of a person I know very well, loudspeakers blare out music much later than the 10 pm specified by the Supreme Court, rattling the windows with their volume right into the wee hours of the morning. Over a thousand homes are affected.
“Why don’t you complain to the police?” I asked.
“I do!” he said, “But the police say I am the only one who does!”
The other thousand, with bleary eyes discuss the noise the next day but never complain.
Cowards!
Another housing society I know, have circulated minutes that would make a fiction writer bow out of a short story competition. “Every sentence is anything but what happened at the meeting!” says a member.
“Why don’t you write to the registrar?” I ask.
But nobody does.
Standing up against small wrongs builds muscle. Later, when we see huge wrongs being committed, injustice and atrocity happening, we stride purposefully into it with the knowledge that armed with the truth we are formidable.
Truth is a powerful sword and impregnable armour!
But if you have not used truth in smaller situations, you will never know how forceful, vigorous and potent it is. Truth can beat a lie hands down, even if the lie has an army of people behind it. But unless you have seen the power of truth, unless you have left your comfortable coward covering, you will never know its power.
Truth has God behind it.
I have seen terrible things happen to people who have used falsehood, but before that God wants to see if you have used the muscle of truth. When the Egyptian army were swept into the waves of the Red Sea, it first took Moses the lifting up of his staff and the first step in faith towards the sea before God made it happen.
When you remain quiet, and are a coward, you are actually joining the side of injustice and why should God help you?
Start with small issues. Stand up to fudged minutes even if it doesn’t affect you. Stand up to loudspeaker noise even if you have soundproofed your bedroom. Stand up to walking to the pavilion even before the umpire gives you out.
Let’s change our nation, from being one of cowards to being strong, resilient and forceful, using the sword and armour of truth to win against lies and deceit.
If you don’t, let me pin on your chest, the National CowardAward..!

And as he stood at the border, making faces and shouting slogans at the man across who was busy, not playing cricket, but minding his country, he heard a voice behind, “Come back, we’ve lost Delhi!”
“What? Impossible! I have been standing here and shouting and threatening that ex cricketer across the border, that should have got us Delhi!”
“We’ve lost Delhi!”
“Didn’t you push the people of one religion against the other while I was standing here and shouting at that man across the border?”
“I did!”
“Then what happened?”
“We still lost Delhi!”
“Didn’t you instigate people against those who were agitating against the CAA?”
“I did, but we still lost!”
“How much did that muffler man get?”
“Sixty-two seats!”
“That’s impossible, there are only seventy seats!Tell the people it was electronic machine rigging!”
“That is what the people always said!”
“So now agree with them!“
“It’s past all that, come let’s go, we’ve lost Delhi!”
“Are the people mad, we promised them majority rule, majority bullying, majority religion, what happened? What did they want?”
“Cheap electricity!”
“How do we do that?”
“Better education?”
“I don’t know anything about that!”
“Running water!”
“No idea how that’s done!”
“I know!”
“You know what?”
“That you don’t know!”
“I thought you knew!”
“I know how to push one religious group against another, and cheer you as you shout at that cricketer across the border!”
“You don’t know anything more?”
“No, nor do you! So come back..”
“Come back where?”
“Back to Delhi!”
“But Delhi is taken!”
“But we can do all the things we are doing, even while he…”
“Builds schools, gives cheaper electricity, starts hospitals…”
“And we?”
“Can call him names, make fun of his religious visits, and mock his muffler round his neck..”
“That sounds good. I’m good at doing that”
“Yes, I know, but the people of the country now want what Delhi is getting!”
“Then let me stay at the border and shout at that man on the other side!”
“Yes, I think you should keep doing that. There are still fools who are fooled by that.!”
