हो गई है पीर पर्वत-सी पिघलनी चाहिए, इस हिमालय से कोई गंगा निकलनी चाहिए। आज यह दीवार, परदों की तरह हिलने लगी, शर्त लेकिन थी कि ये बुनियाद हिलनी चाहिए। हर सड़क पर, हर गली में, हर नगर, हर गाँव में, हाथ लहराते हुए हर लाश चलनी चाहिए। सिर्फ हंगामा खड़ा करना मेरा मकसद नहीं, सारी कोशिश है कि ये सूरत बदलनी चाहिए। मेरे सीने में नहीं तो तेरे सीने में सही, हो कहीं भी आग, लेकिन आग जलनी चाहिए। These lines are of Dushyant Kumar from the poem Ho Gai Hai Peer Parvat. Translation: “Insurmountable like the Himalayas, is now our sorrow, Let it melt like the Ganges, and through these mountains burrow. These walls have, like curtains, finally started shaking, But remember, “shake must the foundations”, was our original undertaking. On every street and boulevard, across every town and farmland, It's high time even the corpses march hand-in-hand. I am not your everyday agitator, needless violence is not my aim, I am here for the long haul, to change the very rules of the game. If not in mine, so be it in your heart, It really doesn’t matter where, but a fire needs to start.” Long live India, long live Indians and long live 'Dev Bhasha'.
