Freedom

 We Indians are really very smart. You must have read whatsapp forwards saying how Indians lead in NASA and of course IT and everywhere else where intellectuals are needed. 

But we must admit the fact that we take some time - the lag is present. For example we took almost one hundred years to get freedom from British rule. Gandhiji (or may be some one else - we can't believe these corrupt historians), convinced people to peacefully protest and win back our freedom. 

This time it might take a little longer. Because for one to become free, one must realise that one is not actually free. But all of us are in a kind of stupor and intoxication induced by generous doses of dharma prema and desha prema by social media and television. And not realising that our right to speak, eat, sing, write or protest is being snatched by us. Only freedom we are left with is to parrot. And we do that willingly and very frequently. 

So it certainly may take much longer.
