"Knowledge is like unto a sandspring: the more thou diggest and drawest thereat, the more excellent is the flow thereof"

- Valluvar (Kural)

 

Akani’s writings

 

Homeless people

 

When seeing

one shelter-less man

on the road

My mind melts

My eye rains tears

Why this pitiful state

for these people?

When it is necessary to have

a hole for a rat

an ant-hill for a snake

a bush for a rabbit

and a nest for a bird

shelter-less people,

how will they live ?

 

-       By Akani

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.

-      Mother Teresa

"It means a great deal to those who are oppressed to know that they are not alone. And never let anyone tell you that what you are doing is insignificant."

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the general assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948. Many government induced laws and regulations, additions, negations and re-phrases have happened at different times, but the basic principles of human rights was established in 1948. Article 19 declares that "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart ideas through any media, regardless of frontiers.". The Convention is intended to protect human rights in countries which are democratic by seeking to secure a fair balance between the general interest of society and the protection of the individual’s fundamental rights.
