A great philosopher said, “You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free.” I hope, after all this scenic melodrama in Mumbai, he will not take his words back. Our great republic, has given a number of rights to each citizen of this secular country. Among those wonderful arms of our democracy, one is freedom of expression. Exact definition of the same is below for your reference..
"The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law"
A serious doubt comes in my mind, do we really have it. I would say, yes. If not, i wouldn’t have been writing this in an open platform. It’s just that due to some people who hold contrary view than ours....Agreed that they also posses same rights as we do but again its all about abiding laws and acting within it.
I really would not have any issues if a recent movie (which is target of all hues & cries ) was protested in Gandhian style of non-violence....of course as I am a commoner, me having issue or not, it doesn't matters. Really it doesn't.
Also i have a suggestion for state level heroes who want to link a city/state to a particular group of people...
We are lucky that unique identification project is going on in our country. Once that database in created, we can create one more field to it, "eligible_to_live_in_state".For all citizens, we can make entries and issue a card mentioning state, and it should be given to everyone and it should act as a visa for entry in that particular state.
Will it be fine? To manage state_ownership in country of 1 billion, it would be the easiest way. But I am worried about myself. Being a Bengali, I am automatically linked to West Bengal, born and brought up in MP,my entry should be for MP,My father/Grandfather were born and brought up in Bihar, so it should be Bihar, My mother is from Gujrat,so it should be Gujrat or it should be Gurgaon, as i am staying in Gurgaon since 4 years, or it should be Delhi as i am daily spending my 10 working hours in Delhi since last four years...
Tough to answer na...For me, it's impossible to answer.
