It is true that democratic freedom is an engine of national and individual wealth and prosperity. Hardly known, however, is that freedom also saves millions of lives from pandemic, famine, disease, war, collective violence, and democide . That is, the more freedom, the greater the human security.

Freedom is a beauty of peaceful nations . more

I agree. The current political dispensation has kept the antiquated sedition law still prevalent even though this has become non-relevant. Indeed, if we question them on the farm laws, hastily passed through the ordnance route, or the questioning citizens about our government's response to the corona virus being dubbed anti-national. Government must be busy working rather than managing perceptions, through controlling citizens' psychographics, by keeping checks on certain people - as whether did India handled the pandemic well, given the fresh pandemic wave when the entire nation acquiesced to prime minister dictated lockdown? Morally too, good work wins accolades that follow, even though such a way demands toughness. being the moral way. After all our freedom of expression is a way to see that citizens get heard inherent within India's constitutional rights like with any mature democracy. more
