Jan 13: Day 1 of my fast, day 689 of our chain.
I’m fasting against authoritarian elected representatives .
We must inculcate the idea of justice and democratic values in young people .
Teach citizenship from a young age
Our culture prizes obedience
Value the rebel , the dissenter .
I’m also fasting to reduce inequality in our country. The rich live lives of ease and comfort . And unfeeling thoughtlessness .
The poor are stoic and resigned to their fate
Minimum Support Prices for agricultural produce , living wages for our domestic help , shop girls , receptionists etc . I see so many poorly paid and overworked people all around .
It’s unfair , unjust and criminal.
I run a small industry . I try to do the fair thing by our employees .
But I see so many employers not even paying minimum wages , leave alone other benefits
We must improve the lot of people around us.
