We-Poke

“We Poke at the idea that people can be judged based on their community. Judging someone who has same body type,two hands and two eyes,on the basis of their place of birth goes beyond logic. Saying that a group or community is not reliable because of their faith,is like discrediting the system that creates them as equals. The entire argument of linking actions of violence to a group is the biggest act of crime. There are examples,which are reflections of a society,which are swept under the stereotype that popular media offers. We do not think beyond them. When we meet a person,we don’t just meet him,we meet his entire community – unless we break these images that come attached with a name,a surname and the entire baggage,we cannot fight anything. Terrorism? The bigger battle to be fought against here,we feel,is that of mistrust.”
