So sad. We need more brave people who will say no to oppression, period.

Difficult message. Have often wondered what it takes to motivate a person to go and get himself killed.

Now that is a Beautiful thought, my Dear Ankur.
…In genuine situations, where and when Freedom and Welfare were at risk, as in the movie ‘300,’ fiery speeches and good leadership were needed for that.
…In many other instances, it is taking advantage of the circumstances of a person, who had merely joined for economic reasons, or maybe even out of a love for Country, and turn this around for personal gain. Much of this is happening today.
And to motivate (though this might be a wrong word, more like ‘force,’) a person to go and get himself killed, all it needs is a …Heart of Stone. 😦
