The biggest mistake we could commit is to ignore the voice of silence. A successful decision maker listens to the voice of silence. Today we talk about inclusive growth and India inclusive, this can not be reached without listening to the silence and the silent.
The uproar over the Dictatorship of Mr. Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and the uprooting of the Dictatorship of Mr. Ben Ali from Tunisia, exemplifies the consequences of ignoring the voice of silence. The silent people suffered the dictatorship for two-three decades but when the voice became a ROAR it uprooted the might of presidency.
This shows that the silence of the people has a voice as well, just because they aren't channelised well to protest, doesn't mean that they don't have a voice. In India as well people have been suffering from the high food inflation and price rise but the silence should not be ignored as being voice less.
The era of social networking and netizens have provided an additional voice to the silence. It's role is well evident from the protests that took place in Iran, at the time of elections and in the latest uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. Facebook and Twitter had to be banned in Egypt by the ruler.
To sum it up, Silence has a voice and the subtle voice needs to be listened to carefully before it becomes a full grown UPROAR. If anything the silence makes the voice more pronounce.
