The lead Talk in the New Yorker this week by George Packer http://nyr.kr/1DCf4u8 has me wondering about
what is original in a land that is chilled into groupthink and away from
freethinking … Isn’t that why so much of what we read, or see on stage and
screen doesn’t vary much from what we have seen before? These horribly murdered
young men are martyrs to a faith in taking risks. This is true no less in art
than in politics. Consider this: stand for something. There is a deep message
for all of us in the hashtag #iamavijit.
