Independence day’s is coming up in India.
15th August.
2 days from now, India will be free.
Freedom!
Azadi!
Independence!
Self-reliance.
Do you feel free?
Can you smell the freedom in the air?
Are you a free man? Woman?
No.
Don’t think so.
Indians got freedom from the British only to end up being ruled by their own tyrants.
If you look at the Freedom Index of the world, India currently has 62% freedom.
Ghana, Botswana, Namibia and Senegal have more freedom than India.
Who?
Yes. Who.
If we’re talking about freedom, I’d say India is not doing very well in that area.
What about freedom online? Internet freedom in India?
Terrible.

The British left.
Somewhere in the Americas, slavery was abolished. Equality was normalized. A black man and a white man could sit on the same table and have a meal.
Racism and the caste system is alive and well in India.
Whilst their bodies might have some degree of freedom, their minds are still enslaved by their ancient belief systems.
