Death is inevitable...

Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla

Death is inevitable.

Nobody can escape.

Everyone's last journey

Everyone’s destination

At least let us speak for the voiceless.

Let us speak for the speechless.

Let us fight oppression.

Let us fight humiliation.

Let us fight corruption.

Let us fight lies.

Let us fight feudalism.

Let us fight capitalism.

Let us fight racism.

Let us fight casteism.

Let us fight ethnocentrism.

Let us drum for humanity.

Let us fight for equality.

Millions are born without human status.

Millions die without human status.

Millions of people are striving for human status.

I am one of them.

I never experienced human status.

I never experienced equality.

I never experienced freedom.

I never experienced liberty.

I never experienced dignity.

I've never heard that expression before.

I never knew I had a human status.

Without human status, I was born, raised, and educated.

I was born with no worth.

I was born with no value.

I was born with embarrassment.

Life-long humiliation

Life-long persecution

Life-long slavery

Life-long housemaid ship

Life-long sexual exploitation

Life-long human trafficking

Karl Marx was born out of this persecution.

Life-long poverty

John Rawls was born out of this poverty.

Life-long untouchability

My father, Mattimalla Titus, was born out of this untouchability.

He never experienced human status.

He died as an untouchable.

His father, Mattimalla John, was born out of this untouchability.

He never experienced human status.

He died as an untouchable.

His father, Mattimalla, was born out of this untouchability.

He never experienced human status.

He died as an untouchable.

His foremothers and their foremothers

His forefathers and their forefathers

They never experience human status.

They born and died as untouchables.

Humiliation from cradle to death

Persecution from cradle to death

Let us voice our human status till we die.

Let us not die without a voice for voiceless humans.

Let us not die without a voice for homelessness.

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less untouchables.

Suryaraju Mattimalla was born out of this untouchability.

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less sexual minorities.

Michael Foucault was born out of this sexuality and power.

Antonia Gramsci born out of his prison note books

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less yazidies.

Let us not die without a voice for voiceless anti-corrupted people.

Let us not die without a voice for voiceless whistleblowers.

Let us not die without a voice for voiceless cultural critics.

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less science.

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less rationality

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less scavengers.

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less daily wage workers.

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less devadasis.

Let us not die without a voice for voice-less tigrayans.

Let us not die without a voice for voiceless ethnic minorities.

Let us not die without a voice for voiceless atheists.

Let us fight for our self-respect.

Let us fight for human dignity.

Let us fight for freedom of expression.

Let us fight for freedom of identity.

Let us fight for human equality.

Let us fight for drinking water.

Let us fight for our walking rights.

Let us fight for the right to sit.

Let us fight for learning rights.

Let us fight for the right to wear white clothes.

Let us fight for marriage rights.

Let us fight against honour killings.

Let us fight for love.

Let us fight, fight, fight...

Let us speak up for those who don't have a voice...

Let us fight till we die..
