Open Letter to Hatemongers: The fire you ignite consumes us all
✦
byUtkarsh Kumar
Utkarsh KumarHis mother named him Utkarsh because she wanted him not to be too far ahead in the roll number list, but his name means precisely the opposite— to be at the top. Caught in this dilemma, Utkarsh holds onto poems and stories to find meaning in his otherwise bland life. He believes words have the power to bring together people, eliminate distances, start a revolution, and carry it through. He daydreams about Hosseini’s Afghanistan, Murakami’s Japan, and Bond’s India.
