I question if we are really free from our own guilt of thought action and deeds? I don’t think so. How many times have we given our near and dear ones the space that they need? Do we even realise that in the name of relationship we are imposing things rather than letting people grow and express their views. This is exactly what happens with our folks, siblings, friends and colleagues. Just as we get to know them we expect too much from them and slowly our ego starts dictating their life. This is something that I have realised over the years and I make conscious effort to give space in my relationship.
Is India free?
We live in a free country and we thankfully don’t live in an age where you are persecuted for expressing your thought, views and actions. Think again do we really live in a free country? As a country we are talking about a GDP growth of 8.6 % what sense does this make to those who still suffer from the basics of education and poverty? How does this help those young girls who are forced into a marriage? Over here we create a law to protect someone wherein use the same law to destroy many others. How fair is this? Where is the freedom gone to fight for one’s rights?
Today our society is male and female equally dominated, in the race of showing powers we have forgotten to be compassionate to others. The problem really is that everyone wants create their own rule. If we all are good enough to manage ourselves why do we need a democratic government and a bunch of cartoons to rule over it? I am not trying to blame the government and the people who try their best to organise themselves for the betterment of the society. I am trying to blame those men and women in black, white, brown and grey who are so week to give into their pride and self respect for their own petty pleasures to support bribery and injustice. Where is the sense of those millions common mortal gone to support these men and women in black, white, brown and grey? – I think of all these things and feel so tiny and guilty of not being able to do anything about this, but then again if I given into this thought I am denying my own freedom to think express and act as an individual.

Indira Gandhi's view of Freedom
During her leadership Indira Gandhi addressed the youth of our country and said that "You will have to take the lead, create ad run the country.As leaders we can only show the way YOU the Youth of India will have way the road that is created for you."
She said when "I walk around and meet people, they all give me a list of things that they would like to have in their area, town and village but no one has ever come to me saying what they would do for their area, town and village. This action is equally important. The victory of a country depends on their youth and if the youth can't fulfill the dreams of the country then 1, 10 or even 20 leaders rule the place it will not make any difference to the country.The only difference between freedom and slavery is that when you are a slave you listen to what someone else has got to say but freedom means you create your own way ahead and if we don't make efforts to save our freedom we will land up in slavery again."
Freedom of a country means safety, security, illiteracy, hunger, values, growth, mutual respect for human, environment, religion, advancement of technology and a sense of responsibility within every individual. Will this will happen wit each one of us taking responsibility for our lives, our surroundings,our society, our country and our world.

Good one.
In India, the freedom of speech is controlled by those who are on the helm of affairs. If they do not like, they will pull all strings to entangle you some or the other way!
