This dilemma is reflected in our proverbs, too, which are aphorisms containing some fundamental truth. Not to speak of our fundamental values of freedom and liberty – who gave the state the authority to turn Fascist in the name of a virus? How do we choose between life and livelihood? And between freedom versus outbreak of the disease? And finally, prolonged lockdown is the only way to contain the virus no, it would kill people of starvation by making them jobless.

CAA is a benign legislation to give relief to a class of persecuted minorities in some of our neighbouring countries no, it is a pernicious legislation. Was Vibhishan righteous or treacherous?

Someone said that in the human history whenever mankind faced a major crisis, it came together to save itself, but today is a crisis when we have to stay apart to save the world.
