When the pen becomes the sword

Is it the pen or the sword that starts a revolution?

Writing something is not just a mere arrangement of words that is grammatically correct. Writing means a medium to sway away the minds of the readers. Its upon the writers will and imagination, which way he would like to carry the minds of the readers. 

The example of a perfect write up is 'Sarfaroshi Ki Tammanna' (सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना) by Ram Prasad Bismil. His words then provoked the spirit of revolution among the young hearts.

If Bismil Sahab could lead the youth towards revolution and revenge, then why can't the modern writers of free India glorify the path to develop a better place for us to live? We can and we have to. The power of pen is unvanquishable. Social change is an urgent need and writers are the planners for it. Changing the world is a mutual responsibility and we must all act upon it. We must all pick up our pen and let our pen act as our sword. We must write out the concept of change for the readers. Writers are those person who has to see the dream of change with eyes open.
