It wasn’t merely a mob marauding, it was the State which counts amongst its key instruments these days, the bulldozer. We are happily living off a diet of lies — malevolent lies, constructed lies, deliberate lies; blatant, unembarrassed lies. Our history is wrong history. Each time idiocy or affront is inflicted on us is a test of how much we can be reduced to. We shall also be the embodiment of the prophecy of James Baldwin: “I’m terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country.
