To tell the truth is revolutionary," wrote Antonio Gramsci. In the late 1800s, when the Italian Marxist philosopher was working on his treatises, and when the vast language made available to us in the age of the Internet wasn't present, perhaps the small act of speaking up had more impact. Today, however, those who share information and talk on social media are often labelled "armchair activists".

But the truth is, the larger human conscientiousness doesn't exist in a vacuum. It emerges from and is moulded by society; and when approximately 627 million of that 1340-million-large nation exists on social media, perhaps an Instagram story can do more than you think.
