Vir Das shares strong message on being 'apolitical' as Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike

Actor Vir Das questioned the idea of being apolitical in a recent social media post. He argued that remaining silent on societal issues is a conscious choice, not neutrality. Those who speak out often possess less privilege and have more at stake, he stated. Democracy requires citizens to hold elected officials accountable for public policy. Avoiding discomfort should not be mistaken for an ideology or political stance.
