Very well written 👏
To the times like these where freedom is such a confined word, explaining it clearly would make anyone ponder how and what should be kept within its boundaries.
There's no such lucid picture of freedom or a set notion; its understanding differs from person to person. But ironically, freedom has fettered itself now.
We belong to a democratic country, we have freedom of speech, but whenever we try to acknowledge our rights and use them for saying out loud, we feel restricted.
This 'restriction' arrives from the bevy of some erudite people who promised to create a society that would have the freedom to express, decide and think irrespective of their class or caste they belong to, but what they actually meant was they would have the freedom to do what these group of people would make them do.
This right is questioned and targeted whenever someone tries to say something relevant. He is openly lambasted by these groups and is charged for obscenity and anti-nationalist words.
It occurred again when an Indian comedian Vir Das used some hard lines of truth in his monologue on his country, India. Hardly a 7-minute video of his monologue got viral on YouTube and created chaos among people calling it 'derogatory'.
Das said it was a "satire on the duality of two separate Indias", and it is a truth. However, many asked for filing a complaint against him as he supposedly "maligned the image of his country internationally".
Again, this incident has raised the question of how free we are now and whether we have the right, to tell the truth without enduring unnecessary criticism from society. Although the consequences of this incident say it all, we still are not freed from the confinements where we can express freely and say it out loud.
