“Snooping, hacker of Indian Democracy”
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.  -Martin Niemöller
The trepidation of us fearing our conversations might be being listened to is now consequential as what we can do if a spyware like ‘Pegasus’ is implanted in our cell phones seemingly without leaving a trace, and it continuously streams out our private lives ? Nothing actually ! Apparently we should get back to landlines. The Pegasus intrusions reveal that the world's largest democracy has been fully hacked. Fundamental rights are now being violated in India in broad daylight and non-cooperation of Indian government into independent probe have caused suspicion of what if the taxpayer money is being used to intrude into private lives rather than the development of this country considering Pegasus spyware costs over 48 lakhs per device. Whoever the crook is, it needs to be brought to book and it could be possible only if we stop turning a blind eye to what is happening. “Because snooping can’t be the new normal, it's the hacker of Indian democracy”.

And there was no one left to speak for me
