Acquiring our rights implies that we are demolishing the domination of enemies who have been relishing the rights seized from us. The only way to get back our rights is to crush them. They have been exercising control over us to such a great extent that we have no option except wiping them out.
But it is easier said than done. It is a difficult task indeed. Besides, we may have to sacrifice many precious lives while accomplishing this arduous task. Our enemies are strong enough with huge support from various sources. They have numerous conveniences which we lack.
Religion, god, ancient myths and scriptures as well as all other interconnected concepts are in their favour. In addition to this obstacle, the government has joined hands with them. It has been shielding our enemies, causing their dominance last longer, and preventing us from acquiring our rights.
