Threads of Justice - By Kanchan Potdar
Fear silences her as the world stands by cruelty disguised as love.
Every act of control tightens the noose of silence.
They blindfolded her with their version of truth and called it peace.
Injustice thrives not by the strength of the wrongdoer, but by the silence of the crowd.
The moment she dared to look, the truth burned brighter than fear.
Empathy found her first, before courage did a silent hand, a shared wound.
From victims to voices they chose not to whisper anymore.
What began as her fight became a revolution red no longer meant silence.
Synopsis
Society doesn’t always support those who choose to stand for justice. At times, it can influence or even obstruct them from following the right path. However, in the end, the choice remains theirs to make. The red cloth over the eyes represents how people willingly turn a blind eye to injustice, while the cloth over the hands and mouth symbolizes helplessness. This is the story of a girl, who chooses to stand for justice, even when the whole world is against her. In due course of time, she discovers that she is not alone in her journey.
