Dear friends (and I think we are all friends here),

Since the last couple of days, I am being attacked for airing my views against recent actions of AAP.

When I praised them I was loved and adored, and suddenly I am evil, ignorant or stupid. The choicest abuses have been leveled at me because I felt they did something that would harm my India and its prospects.

Abuse doesn't bother me. What bothers me more is some of you have said you won't read my books or will unfollow me for my words, simply because you didn't like my giving them harsh feedback. Really? Is that what it is about now? I must say things that the crowd wants to hear? Even if I feel differently?

How will it make me different from the politicians who will do anything for votes?

More importantly, is our friendship conditional? Do I have to be scared of you not reading me or leaving me because you didn't like what I felt and said?

I am sorry my friend, but that will not happen. I am not made that way. I respect your views, and would like you to respect mine and stay with me. However, if you still want to curse, threaten and leave me, you have the right to. Of course, it will break my heart if you go. However, it is easier to deal with the broken heart than staying quiet and seeing others break my country.

However, I will still put India first and say what I have to. If you can accept that, and all I would say is stay on, be a friend and let us all build this country together.

Love,
Chetan Bhagat
