"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."

The above quote explains the utility of raising our voice against any act of injustice that is done by state over the public.

For instance, after understanding the true nature of British rule, Indians raised their voices against the colonialists, lest they would have never left the country.

Similarly, there are instances of unjust laws like Apartheid which has been duly challenged by the Africans.

The contemporary relevance of the quote lies in the changing paradigm of state's

role which now demands a greater accountability for its actions.

Therefore, we need to raise our voices against any unjust act which are made by the state. Eg) Protests against Iranian government after the death of Mahsa Amini.
