It is important for us to join hands as Lokayat believe, let us not forget the poem by Pastor Niemoller:
First they came for the Communists,
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I did not speak out,
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemoller, Berlin, (1892–1984) was a German pastor who spent eight and a half years in a German concentration camp.
