“PITY THE NATION”
Lawrence Ferlinghetti (After Khalil Gibran) 2007

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
@Arun_Kaku05
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture
Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own
Pity the nation whose
breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed
Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away
My country, tears of thee
Sweet land of liberty!❤️

So, I came across this video of @RahulGandhi giving an interview in which he is asked a question which kind of goes right over his head.....matlab total bouncer.

The Bhakts, ofcourse, are having a huge laugh at it.

But I can't help but notice....

- A question
totally bamboozling the interviewee would mean that the interview was not scripted, isn't it?

- Not answering a question correctly or being confused actually means that the person is human (unless all these Bhakts got 100/100 in all their exams)
- Having the courage to face a question which you don't know is coming shows that the person is ready to face our questions too and will try and atleast answer them.

So, I am not sure what exactly is found funny in that video, but yeah, one thing is certain,

Forcing a woman to be shared among 5 brothers against her consent as a wife, staking her in gamble, remaining silent as she was disrobed was feminist, agnipariksha was feminist, worshipping a husband who stakes you in gamble or tests your loyalty or
abandons you in forest during pregnancy is feminism. Indeed #JustAsking

क्या जय श्री राम का नारा लगाने वाले आग लगाते हैं और क़त्ल करते हैं?
मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम श्री राम की फ़ोटो प्रोफ़ाइल पर लगाने वाले ट्विटर और फ़ेसबुक पर भद्दी गालियाँ देते हैं?
इससे क्या समझा जाए? कि ये श्री राम के सच्चे उपासक नहीं हैं? या ये कि इन्होंने श्रीराम से यही सीखा है?
