A WhatsApp message received today had a particularly ghoulish description of life in a Muslim home. But what we’re witnessing today is the inordinate power of the ordinary word, used by ordinary people, and in our ordinary day-to-day lives. And others, of things that have been left unsaid. Anger also contains within itself the need for payback — either by the person who is wronged or by society at large. A wrong turn now will mean we would have let down the Constitutional Republic that we take such pride in.
