What does freedom mean to you?

What does freedom mean to everybody around here, not just to me? Well, freedom just meant the following:

An unwieldy bureaucracy, with numbers extending to hundreds of times more than what the British needed to rule this nation.

Fabulous salaries and day-light robbery standard pension benefits for the civil (totally uncivil) servant.

Feudal attitude of all bureaucrats including the higher ups.

Low quality personnel in top positions of officialdom.

Use of feudal language, crippling words to the common man in this nation.

A very frightened group of self-seeking politicians who will fight among themselves, but are in terror of officials.

Denuding of all forest areas in this nation. Even roadside trees have been cut down.

Bribery has become more or less a statutory feature.

Shallow brained persons write laws and rule and the politicians sitting in the various state assemblies and Parliament pass it, with no qualms about how it will affect the citizens here.

Coming of a state thievery called Sales Tax. It is like the old pre-British days, when the feudal lords looted the traders, with official powers. Remember, the British ruled without this nonsense. In most states, this loot is only to feed the officialdom.

When the whole world banned the Ozone eating compounds, the ministers here went on demanding rights to continue it, with no concern for the health of the common man.

The British had the concept of public toilets and sitting places for the convenience of the people coming to public offices. Now there is no thought about providing toilets or public rest areas in any small town or village. The Sanitary Inspector posted to look after public toilets, actively discourage the setting up of these public conveniences. They go into hotels and seek other things, including bribes and also try to terrorise the people.

Persons with obnoxious information standards and fit to be just ayaas become teachers and then try to force children to come and study in their schools. Laws are passed to facilitate this.

Extremely feudal quality languages are promoted, and English, the language of dignified equality is given the go by.

In free India, the rich and off spring of the officialdom escape to English nations, and look down at the other Indians stuck here.

There are many more things to be said about our so-called freedom. Let me conclude by just saying that a foreign language for the many states in India, called Hindi has been imposed on the nation, and English was tried to be pushed out using constitutional methods.

Now will Yahoo delete this post of mine as it has done other posts of mine? Will I be again given a stern warning?
