Hate crimes like lynching are committed by a few people, who are a microscopic minority among us. However, it takes millions of people to sit back and do nothing so that criminals have the free space to operate.
We knew that Ehshan Jaffri, a Congress MP, was brutally murdered in his home in Ahmedabad. But perhaps we didn't know how unconcerned ordinary people in general were at that time. Please read Ehshan Jaffri's daughter's story to find out.
I think we lose our moral right to protest against hate crimes and communal murders, that is, we become a part of the problem unless we speak out now and try to help the victims if the time comes.
Please decide.
