June 16: Day 1 of my fast, day 841 of our chain.
India today, under the guise of assertiveness, seems to have lost all sense of shame. It no longer tries to correct or even cover up the pettiness, incompetence and egotism of its upper and middle classes. Like the ruling class in India, they serve no common good, only themselves.
From the land of ancient wisdom, India has been turned into a petulant teenager on the world stage, with little to show for its demands of being given a seat at the adult table.

June 17: Day 2 of my fast, day 842 of our chain.
I dedicate my post today to all my courageous friends who continue to fight for what is right even through the longest and loneliest night with little hope in immediate sight:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

June 18: Day 3 of my fast, day 843 of our chain.
I dedicate my post today to Ankita Ghosh, Pratyay Ghosh, Sayanti Das, Michael Kick, Sandeep Upadhyay, Sharvan Kumar, Christian Frankenberg, Bharati Sanghavi and others who participated in our protest against Hindutva violence in Würzburg, for their courage and commitment for an inclusive, sane, and just India at a time hate, intolerance, and majoritarian muscle-flexing are the norm. At a time standing for what is right is not only a matter of personal taste, but of responsibility and integrity in the face of intimidation and violence.
At times like this, we get a palpable sense that we are each defined much more by our humanity than by narrow classifications of nationality, class, caste, or gender. Because truth knows no borders, empathy knows no caste, justice knows no skin color. Together we stand for love and justice, for freedom, for healing.
