- Of a Gandhian satyagraha that outlived Godse’s bullet
- Of the employees demanding wages for their labour
- Of a doctor busting their myths
- Of an opposition barricading their bills
- Of a constitution that defines the limit
- Of a court that still supports dissent
- Of the voices that echo despite being in prison
- Of a public that remembers
