Changes. It’s inevitable.
'Development; at what cost?'
'Blatant disregard for the environment.'
'Exploitations of foreign labourers.'
'Suppression of the voices.'
'The old and weak despised.'
'A purposeless generation.'
'What will we be remembered for?'
50 Years of independence shaped the nation. History says we have achieved much. Our elected representatives say we should maintain status quo to ensure the next 50 years is just as successful. The media plays to the tune of a harmonious country and progressive nation.
But is everything REALLY all right? How sure are we that the pact our founding fathers worked out, will work in the changing decade and shifting values? Crime has reached an unprecedented stage. Diseases, natural disasters, human carelessness and greed make a ‘normal day’ read.
What role will you be playing in writing the next 50 years? God forbid that if we keep silent or remain in apathy, history itself will convict our generation for allowing things to deteriorate.
But what CAN we do, where we are?
Do we even care?
