I Am Speechless

I am Speechless.  At mindless violence around me.  In the name of religion. In the name of cast.  In the name of honor.  In the name of anything and everything.  

I am Speechless.  I fear repercussions for speaking up.  I fear being trolled.  

I am speechless.  My government, my protector, is mute spectator to those running riots, burning tax payers' money, terrorizing my children, throttling my creativity, my freedom of expression guaranteed by my Constitution.

I am speechless.  By pain to see young faces indulging in vandalism.  At dream of demographic dividend lost in waves of violence.  

I am speechless.  At imagining how one could realize Make in India? how can I achieve Swacch India (Clean India) amidst burning rubble and screaming children horrified by goons on the lose? how my nation will Stand Up on lawless base? how Start Up can survive in freedomless air?

I am Speechless.  At law and order in tatters, at politics of vote bank.    

I am Speechless.  Until I get back my India "Where the mind is without fear, and the head is held high."
