Freedom Revisited

Freedom Revisited
 

I just did a survey of our personal and political freedom from the time of independence and suddenly discovered seven (7) stages.
 

This can be applied to an elephant in captivity but in the case of the elephant the poor animal has few stages and no political freedom at all.

I will list them first and expand on each stage on a future date.
The reader can have his or her own classification.

1. Stage One-Born Free
That is the stage we enjoyed for over a decade.
Then we went in search of the second stage since the freedom did not filter down to everybody.

2.Stage Two- Freedom Struggle
We lacked economic freedom at this stage.

3. Stage Three- Freedom Fighter-Wasted Time
Never got the freedom we were fighting for.
This applies to J.V.P.
 

4. Stage Four-Freedom Left to be Abused
This is he stage were politicians (all shades) in the name of their expansion abused our freedom left right and center (they are the only one who gets a pension in five years for doing sweet nothing)

5. Stage 5-Freedom Lost
This is the stage we lost all freedom in the name of new constitution.
Even the judges lost their freedom to politicians whims and fancies.

6.Stage 6-Freedom to be abused by those who are in Power
This is the most interesting phase where anybody who is somebody with some power (this includes officers)  can become corrupt with impunity with no legal barriers.

7. Last or the 7th stage is Freeing the Freedom from clutches of Power
Unfortunately  we have not reached this stage since there are enough legal barriers  like 2/3 (two third) majority etc;

We have to go behind a Bo Tree and Pray for Divine Intervention.

Unfortunately foreigners including Indians and Westerners can do sweet nothing since we are a Sovereign State and one has to leave sovereign bars (Gold) in front of the altar of Demo=Crazy.
