Hats off to Ms. Shreya Singhal! I remember looking at the photo of the young girls (ms.
covering their face when they got arrested for commenting on Bal Thakray's
death and the subsequent 'bandh' on FB.... I couldn’t justify the act of the young
girls being arrested and making a big news about it.. The police and
media pictured them as they have done a murder!
Everyone
around knew well that, it was not a crime the girls did, it was indeed a normal
comment any other person like you and me did!
The history repeated when the system arrested university professor
for forwarding on cartoon of Mamtaji then it was turn of the cartoonist Aseem Trivedi...
All
these were normal comments where a normal person can never find fault with...
but such incidents creates a very long block in our minds... many times we feel
like expressing our opinions in fb or twitter on many of the injustice and
malpractices we come across… but we get scared ! We don’t want to be the next
victim in any case..
Tasleema
Nasreen wrote openly about the life in Bangladesh and her books are being
banned in India.. I read the book and I felt the same is done well with facts,
but somehow the system says it’s against the law so the books are being banned!
Freedom
of speech is something that will benefit each one of us... we are
free to express our voice against the injustice or any sensational subjects
without any block! We all know well that we need d freedom to express.. Many
times we know d law need to be amended but we wanted somebody else to fight for
our right!
I
should say Ms. Shrya took the courage to
file a complaint against the system.. may be the subject she is learning 'law'
give her the knowledge and support... but d question is how many have already
learned and passed out this law... why only Shreya responded
? Am sure there would have been obstacles on her way but the girl was determined to fight against
the injustice.. The question of courage comes herein.. There is no doubt Shrya
is going to be one if the best lawyer coming up ! One person who would fight
for justice!
Again
there is going to be flows on d amended law.. bad people who would misuse
the subject.. but let’s hope for the best...
