As an editor, You have the freedom to express Your intependent thought

Indians never have and perhaps never will understand the concept of freedom of speech and expression (“Assam: Congress files complaint after BJP MP allegedly equates ideas of Nehru, Gandhi to ‘garbage’”). Such complaints, made by both the BJP and the Congress in the past, are mostly unfounded and have no backing in law. It is natural for political leaders to speak foul of each other and they should not be booked for every thing they say, unless it is really defamatory in nature. The elitism and partisan attitude shown by the liberals of our society because of their own ideological leanings is sickening at times. As a fellow liberal feel that the discourse of our fundamental principles is now sadly lost in unnecessary ideological noise and the political slug-fest. We want our liberties and freedoms without state telling us what to speak,when to speak and how much to speak. – Akshay Arya

If standing up for the national anthem in movie halls is mandatory, can the government ensure that what is played is proper Anthem
(“Despite Supreme Court comments, you still need to stand for the national anthem in movie theatres”)? Some cinema plays a version of the song that does have Tagore’s lyrics but an altered tune. If changing the design and colour of the national flag is a crime, why is such distortion of the tune of our national anthem being allowed? I do not mind being arrested for not standing up for a song that is not the national anthem of my nation. – Mridula Menon
