Speak out!

Welcome to the Introvert intelligentsia, a space which is open to various opinions and viewpoints. Society can't progress with a single idea or an ideological grouping. Various ideas and thoughts are to be amalgamated to understand and interpret our society, especially the Indian society. Diverse opinions are a part and parcel of the Indian society. We face many complex issues which need these diverse opinions to "unite".

Students play a very important role in opinion making. They are one of the major players in public discourse right throught the democratic journey of this country. Our campus fraternity too has over times raised many issues of national and international importance. But sadly we always are a part of a "Group" and over time suppressed the "individual" opinions. Few individuals voice out their opinions over the social media which in recent times has been a great tool for "introverts" and independent voices to rise up and speak out!

Therefore the "Introvert intelligentsia" is an attempt to provide a common platform where individual voices can converge their ideas and contribute their part. People who want to be heard, people who are in need of a voice this is you chance! Language is not a barrier nor the topic. Sensible issues which are to be addressed can be taken up. Personal experiences related to social discourse are also welcome.

Few quotes before we end this inaugural post:

---In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act. - George Orwell

---“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

---“Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.” ― Daniel Patrick Moynihan

---“If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.” ― Noam Chomsky
