In the depths of my inner turmoil over an insidious process that has shattered lives and echoing the collective anguish, pain, and righteous fury of our people, I have channelled these emotions into a humble verse.
One of the most moving outcomes of Sebaashray for me has been witnessing senior citizens reclaim comfort, confidence, and dignity in their daily lives. Though the camps have concluded, their impact endures. From the Maheshtala Sebaashray 2 camps alone, seven elderly residents were referred and received complete dental treatment entirely free of cost.
Moments like these stay with you. They reaffirm a simple but powerful truth that care must never become a privilege of youth or wealth, and dignity must accompany every individual at every stage of life. When support arrives without conditions or hesitation, it restores not just health, but trust, self-belief, and hope. And that is a responsibility I remain committed to carrying forward.
Justice. Liberty. Equality. Fraternity.
Not words carved in stone, but promises written in blood and breath. Promises born in sacrifice, tempered in struggle, and carried across generations as the living soul of our Republic. These are the values our freedom fighters died for, and the values we are sworn to protect not only in speech, but in action.
On this 77th Republic Day, the air is heavy with unease. The Constitution is chipped away, not in one blow, but in many quiet strikes. Institutions meant to guard democracy now cast long shadows of fear. Communities are pushed to the margins, and the simplest freedoms of language, food, faith, love, and belief are watched, weighed, and questioned.
Yet Republic Day is not only remembrance. It is reckoning. It is the pause before resolve. It calls us to see clearly, to speak honestly, to stand firmly against injustice, and to rebuild what is being hollowed out.
The Republic survives not because power spares it, but because people choose it every day. And we shall continue to choose it, to defend it, and to keep its promise alive.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
