Reading a disturbing article on a couple in Orissa, recently in The Hindu by Harsh Mander I wrote a mail to Harsh Sir, questioning lot many things including law and constitution as an effective means to social justice. This was Sir’s reply to my mail:

Dear samvartha,

I believe deeply in the constitution of India. But to deal with my story of the child’s sale, i believe we need to go beyond, and reach into our compassion. Love has to become also our politics. But how i am not sure…

Regards,

Harsh

The sentence ‘LOVE HAS TO BECOME ALSO OUR POLITICS’ touched me, moved me. So here i have shared it with you.

Peace,

Samvartha ‘Sahil’
