I got goosebumps when I read about Dr. Sen being convicted to a life sentence for sedition... My senses have now reached beyond the point of asking if this is fair..because most things in this world aren't..
May be we humans have evolved, and are continuously evolving, into vegetative beings. May be George Orwell was right, if slightly pre-mature...May be we are incapable of thinking, incapable of feeling...May be the time has come when we have lost it all...
There are those like Dr. Sen who truly believe in human rights, and not just for the sake of talking about it..And then there are those like us, who read (some of us at least read, thankfully), may be think, feel momentarily (those that are less evolved still may have the vestiges of emotion), but as evolution catches up with us, we just cannot react..cannot voice out what we feel..
Off course, there still exist those primates, less evolved, more violent, ready to fight against that overwhelming tide of vegetativeness, like Julian Assange..
We, the evolved, august beings, criticize this man for putting lives of many in danger, but evolution helps us in selectively choosing to forget the millions who have already died due to the acts of "Big Brother"..
Here's to the rise of Evolution...
