Freedom POV -1 (Point Of View)

Freedom POV -1
Let us look at freedom from different point of views.
Why this freedom thing suddenly?
Well!!!
We are nearing I-day (for dummies 'I' stand independence).
So let us have our point of view: Youths
And the first thing that comes to mind is censorship.
Why censorship?
Well, tell me what have the events, since last august shown us.
They have shown us that how people in power, or those who have access to power, have put varied restrictions on us, and be they directly or indirectly.
How? What? When?
Maybe some of you may have not noticed or maybe some have accepted it is fine for our freedom's to be trampled upon, as we are just a bunch of kids just out of our teens, what do you say?
If I go about listing things, things which these people consider, will supposedly stagnate our mind, then I will run short of paper.
I just don't understand their logic.
If I want to do something, which is legal and totally harmless, then it’s my bloody business, who are these so called custodians of our culture to decide what I should do/not do.
If you have a problem, just close your eyes.
The more you try to ban such things, youth's as rebel in nature, are attracted to it.
Instead if these things are just ignored, they don't seem to bother anyone, they loose their value, and it’s like what the heck!
If these things are banned they are considered sinful/sacred, and it’s like I wonder what it is....
, you know, there will be curiosity.
But the question is not that these culture vultures have been able to regulate everything except the air we breathe, the question is,
How have we let these things happen?
Why haven't seen nation-wide protests, why haven't we shown that we cannot be trampled upon, why haven't we shown the power of youth. When we come together, what harm, can those in power do to us?
Do I have to tell you how many youth's are there in this city alone?
But what are we doing?
We are accepting,
We are accepting censorship and saying 'chalta hai yaar, hum kar bhi kya sakte hai'
If this attitude continues, then forget about this write up, no one, not even Hitler, can provoke youth's to wake up, and stop their freedom being taken away.
And if anyone thinks that I am just exaggerating things to fill up space here,
Then just wait, sit quiet, give it shot, don't say a word against anything that is wrong.
And in no time, all our freedoms will go away.
Leaving us only the freedom to breathe, maybe!
