“What Must Be Said”
Gunter Grass, the Nobel winning novelist of Germany, has broken the truth to the world that Israel, not Iran, is the threat to the world civilisation. He has exposed the western hypocrisy that keeps mum about Israel's nuclear stockpile but cry wolf on Iran's peaceful use of nuclear energy. Gunter Grass has spent his last ink as if as a last minute confession of a dying man to relieve himself from the burden of concealing the truth. By protesting the injustice and double standard perpetrated by the western governments, Grass has raised his image on a par with other leading figures of freedom who stood like Himalaya against the onslaught of colonialism and injustice. Grass through his poem “What Must Be Said” has displayed a sword against the falsehood. Long ago Josef Conrad exposed the diabolic side of the western civilisation by his novella The Heart of Darkness. Now the question is how long will we remain subhuman by being submissive before the falsehood. Wake up before it is too late. Take a decision in favour of justice and truth. Come out of the cocoon of darkness to light and freedom.
