In our country, we have been provided with some fundamental rights. These fundamental rights provide us with

But have we really been given these freedoms? By listening to the word ‘freedom’ people might start making their own perceptions. Some may take it lightly and thus misuse it while the others might take it greatly and make ample use of it. It depends entirely on an individual as to how he or she wants to take his freedom ahead. 

People everywhere dream of freedom. Children might think of freedom as a license to do whatever they want to do and there wouldn’t be any restrictions on them. Teenagers might think of freedom as being able to go to college all by themselves, carrying and showing off their expensive mobile phones and a license of skipping lectures.

 I believe that freedom has both good and bad effects. It can either make a person or break a person. It can make a person independent but it can also make a person get influenced

To me freedom is getting an opportunity to know who I really am and discovering my strengths and weaknesses. By this would help me to be strong and face the world without any fears because then I’ll know myself in and out. 

Freedom to me is living the way I want to, wearing clothes that I like, eating what I relish, speaking to whomsoever I want to or going to wherever my mind wanders to. This freedom would allow me to be stress free and enjoy each and every second that I live in this world.

Freedom is to be able to connect with our responsibilities. By taking charge of things, we get to experience immense happiness and satisfaction. Freedom to me is much more than its literal sense. It is rights that are unconditional and issued to every citizen. To

Freedom is the basis of reason. To be able to question everything before blindly accepting my fate. To question what is right and what is wrong without being afraid of any threats. Freedom to me is the only way for a caged bird to achieve happiness, for pet animals to wander about in free space. Freedom is to let them be alone without injuring or killing them resulting in ecological imbalance and loss of natural beauty. 

Freedom is to be able to connect with our responsibilities. By taking charge of things, we get to experience immense happiness and satisfaction. It gives us a chance to know how much of a work load we can handle at a time and how well we are able to manage.

But does freedom really exist? Our country has lost the freedom as time has gone by. To some, freedom is still nothing but a dream. We say that we attained freedom a long time ago but are we making effective use of it? 

Even after 70 years of attaining independence, we need huge army forces to protect our country because one can never know when someone comes over to strikes of the entire country. We still don’t have the safety assurance that we can live without war and violence. People are celebrating Independence Day worldwide but do they really know what freedom is?

A majority of the people do not express what they feel either due to some pressure or societal stereotypes pushed down their throats since birth. Boys cannot cry when they want to because they shouldn’t. Girls do not express love first because it’s the boys who should go down their knees and if that doesn’t happen maybe the girl would never be actually able to express her true feeling ever. People still don't know the actual meaning of freedom to express.

Freedom begins with every individual and then reaches the country. In our case our country is free but the citizens are still struggling to find their inner freedom. 

Looking at the bigger picture we do see India as a free country with amazing rights and benefits but when you magnify the scenario you know that people are still caged up within themselves. 

All this forces me to think about various people that suffer and the world that continues to neglect them. I can only hope for the best and let time be the one to give freedom to everyone.
