'Ek Tha Tiger' is a reality or not,don't know but 'Ek Thi Freedom of Speech" is getting realistic these days.It can be predicted by the series of attempts in last few months to shut the voice of people which is getting against you.Recent event of Maharashtra is an active example of the hammer on the table of Article-19-1(a) of the Indian Constitution.
Such coward acts started a ways back but as the last such event which clicks my mind is the literary+cyber+verbal+physical war against 'The Satanic Verses' by Salman Rushdie.One might agree with someone or not but should not hammer on the freedom of speech of that personality and the crux of the issue is that Govt. also found itself in a whirlpool and so favors the side in majority irrespective of the point that it is abide by the law or constitution or not.People says 'On the name of freedom of speech' one can't hit the sentiments of someone.I say this philosophy is a nonsense if you talk about freedom of speech and right of expression.One should have suffice bearing capability before reacting in a democracy having freedom of speech.Each and every matter or sentence or will have followers or haters,does this mean that the a person won't express his/her views even after living in a democracy which provides the Right of Expression and Freedom of Speech.
Last few months in India include several such examples in which attempts were made to cut the wings of the 'Freedom of Speech',some were desperate and some in progress.A discussion on cutting feathers of 'Right To Information Act',to make CAG a multi-member body,to shoot the messenger and now misusing Article-66(a) of IT-act in accusing two girls who just put there views on the digital canvas on social media.Is this acceptable in the World's largest Democracy??
If you are not agree with someone's view,please be have a patience to bear,think before reaction,that surely would give a better outcome.
I would again say........People Need to Rethink a lot.
