Most of us think that we have freedom in this country. this can be said in two context.
freedom of speech and expression, freedom to go anywhere within the boundaries of this country are provided to us through constitution of India, the mother of all books that we have to abide by. But as i said books and perhaps only in books, and obscure in reality. Second type of freedom, few people do have freedom of sorts which is not written anywhere especially for them. Freedom to break laws. how easily in our country people commit crimes and just get off like it was their some hobby to do once in while. How easily a politician take laws in their hands, how they can siphoned crores of taxpayer's money in their bank a/cs. How a rich drunk teenage can mow down people in the night. This type of freedom is provided to the powerful and rich people there is no leash on their acts.
Those were the two types
We are sensitive, insecure, intolerant society, thus highly vulnerable. I dont have to mention the case of M F Hussain, or taslima nasreen, or north Indians in Maharashtra. we dont have freedom to express a humour through a cartoon or making a painting or publishing a book but they have all the right and freedom to create mob, destroy public property, ransack exhibitions, abuse people. Sometimes its only jungle raj thats prevails and authorities just keep mum. Authorities have laws and force but no use of that force except in matters where only poor and not powerful people are involved. The groups like shiv sena, mns, bajrang dal and their ilks spread only venom and make hate speeches, they get weapons and come out on street creating tangible disruptions, authorities by not acting against them not only getting away from the situation but making them stronger. there is no deterrence. You these days if anyone has a problem and wants to convey to the govt, he'll just pick up a rod smash glasses of trains, buses, stores etc. yes thats the way.. We all are of same society that people like us also have tendency to break laws and even feel proud about jumping a traffic light.
see the point is its hard to convince people that all of us are being used as just pawns by some groups mentioned above. how are we going to fight them. Since we are not them and since have no weapons but have the power to vote them out and pressurize state govt. to take actions against them, if they dont vote them out and let them know why
we are a majority of people but are silent, expressing through blog is only to tell u that is the strategy to do it or otherwise what do we do with our freedom, we want be superpower and progress and that will ni\ot happen until those who create impedance are removed..
