Emotionally Speaking

Today is the 64th birthday of Aung Saan Suu Kyi, the pro-democracy activist and ‘prisoner of conscience’ who has spearheaded the movement for democracy in Burma against all odds. There is this website (link) where you can submit your 64 words for the cause. Also read this article by  Mukul Sharma on Kafila. Long live the struggle for freedom and democracy!

Human Rights, Freedom, Democracy
Not the Police State, Junta, Plutocracy
Rule of Law, Justice, Legitimacy
Not corruption, Suppression, Kleptocracy

Equality, Peace of Mind, Literacy
Not Tortures, Rapes and Obduracy
Friendly Relations, UN and Diplomacy
Not Bankruptcy, Equivocacy and Conspiracy

Socialism, Secularism, Aung San’s true legacy
Not despotism,  Dictatorship and Piracy
Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy
Not the Military, Totalitarianism or Autocracy
