This is the voice of a mute Indian..
A voice no one hears or could hear...
I feel strongly about so many issues..
I have great concerns...
But I won't voice them... as I am a Mute Indian.

I know there are millions like me in my beloved country, if not billions.
I crave for an India that is not corrupt, not arrogant, not so politicised...
I yearn for the real democracy and not the one we have now,
where everyone knows about their rights but not his or her responsibilities..

I discuss with passion the way politicians are ruining the country
But I will not take the effort to even get my voter ID card..
Though I belong to the moral brigade, also known as, Middle Class..

I get angry when I see mobs taking law in their hands
But I make it a point to skip my office on bandh days,
As I believe in "save your skin first"

I am filled with sorrow at the plight of hapless farmers..
Angels who toil in their land and get cheated by all and sundry..
Gods who feed the nation but having none to listen to them..
Forget helping them... They end up a mere statistic in the Government records..

I will continue to voice my muted comments.. Try to listen .. who knows .. you may able to hear these too...
