Freedom, a word that has marked milestones in history. The very essence that has marked humanity to evolve, be it from savages, or the rat race of modern man. Freedom is a question, is it the moment we let go of all our senses and feel as one and in harmony with the universe around us? or is it when we realize the security that our lives have been offered by the walls that society build around us?
What is freedom? Some answer freedom is walking in the rain, getting the chance to run away from a lecture, escaping the inevitable, the feel of adrenaline rush through your veins, a sense of achievement. And yet again the question arises is freedom defined by the amendments that make our country? The reason we find integrity and unity in a diverse culture filled with color, where every person has the right to speech, every child the right to education, the protection of right and personal liberty, where it ensures every body shall be safeguarded by the constitution.
A walk on the streets can prove you pain, where freedom is a masquerade, just a name which envelopes the hunger, poverty and illiteracy. Where is my Free India? you can ask yourself, where is the oath that our father did make, where every character is one’s brother and sister functioning together a family, as one. Freedom now is the choice to ignore others, the reason people choose to walk away from what the eye beholds than to take action to make change. Where is my Free India? Is it now just a lesson in history about the revolt and struggles that were made by our forefathers to achieve a dream? Is it the content written into books to teach the generations of tomorrow?
Where has this dream gone? Does not the nature of the need for change revoke the mind of the common man?
My Free India exists in the hearts, in the minds of those who still revolt, asking for a change. Where the action goes without saying and the smallest move like a butterfly effect ignites the thought and lights the way to lead on to a powerful tomorrow. Free India is to where we step everyday. Free India would be a dream that we achieve, where our nation strides forward with our heads held high. In our Free India everything even little will be our challenge, every problem solved a steady pace forward.
Tomorrow Free India will not be defined by the stories in books, or the legends of yesterday, but by the character of its people walking steadily as one family, one nation, one power, towards our common dream, Freedom.
