It is the day of Independence today. The day India was finally freed from the clutches of the British rule and it breathed its first free air in 89 long years. This day is celebrated with a lot of zest and ebullience throughout the country. There is hoisting of the National Flag, The Prime Minister’s speech, The National Parade and millions of colorful kites all over the Indian sky that in itself are symbolic of freedom. But the question I’d like to address to you all is, ARE WE REALLY FREE? ARE WE REALLY A FREE NATION DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE BRITISHERS LEFT MORE THAN 65 YEARS AGO ON THIS VERY DAY? I think not! Let’s find out! What happens when we see an animal being pelted or being thrown stones at cruelly on the street? I mean, that’s just freaking mean! Do we stop it? How many of us actually move forward to stop it from happening? How many of us actually care enough to take a bloody stand and stop that sorry excuse for a person to leave that poor animal alone? I think the answer is but a few! How is India a free country today if its people are so damn faint-hearted and cowed at raising their voices at injustices like these? Do we Indians not have the humanity to stop these people from subjecting these innocent animals to savageness and malice? Let’s come to something like Gender discrimination in today’s Indian society! The evidence of Gender inequality is evident in every street of this free country, especially the capital New Delhi. It is prevalent throughout the capital and men have always been given a preference over women in any and all fields. Female feticide still takes place in the rural areas of this country. I am saddened to see the plight of women in the so-called “free” country of India! Why do men deserve all the privileges? Aren’t women a part of this “free India”? And if not, where do the men come from? The Rape and molestation cases in Delhi are an everyday affair. Some are reported while others do not even come before the general public at large and are shrouded in the darkness forever. They remain undisclosed and the victims don’t get any sort of recognition or justice whatsoever. The Delhi 2012 Gang Rape Case is known to all. A 23-year old woman was beaten and gang-raped in a private bus in South Delhi by the 6 people in the bus including the driver. These cases were still reported. There are women who are raped inside their own homes and raped on a daily basis by members of the family and relatives. And they can’t raise their voices about it? Why? FREAKING SOCIETY!! Is society really bigger than oneself? &nbsp;Who the hell cares what the society thinks? What is the meaning of freedom when you can’t even speak against the injustices done against you? Is this FREE INDIA? Women are unsafe and the danger begins the moment they walk out of their houses in this independent nation. Either they are not given their due or they are swept aside as a worthless piece of trash! And this is no exaggeration. It is the ugly freaking truth of the Indian society. I would like to end this on a note of introspection…an introspection that I believe is required from each one of you. Are we really free? Can India be really free until its people are free? Free to speak their mind, free to stand against injustices, free to defend themselves against people who try to harm them and free to just bloody do what they very well want? It’s time to shed the fakeness of clothes and opulence and stand naked in front of a mirror and see yourself as God created you and then question yourself, “AM I FREE?” Nothing can change without being conscious of the facts. And a change is needed to make this country really free!&nbsp;

Let’s celebrate a real Independence this Independence Day!
