EXCESSIVE FREEDOM IN INDIA

Anything that is beyond the limit, unrestricted or free for all become harmful for the society. August 15, 1947 is the Independence Day of India. When India became independent Indians became Carte Blanche.

We Indians are free to destroy any number of vehicles on the road. Throw stones on any number of shops. Anyone can stop people going to work and stop students going to schools and colleges. The employees can tell the employers to shutdown the business. Doctors and nurses can keep away from patients admitted to hospitals and allow them to die without treatment. There are innumerable cases of police atrocities all over the country. Police, lawyers and teachers can act according to their convenience. These are all interpreted as individual liberty or professional liberty in the books of law according to these independent public servants. Shops can sell adulterated goods. Hotels can supply substandard food. Vegetables and fruits sellers can sell those added with destructive quantity of pesticides. Fish, chicken and meat sellers can add any amount of destructive chemicals into those and sell.

The freedom of people go to such an extent that they can rape minor girls and move around unharmed. A salaried government employee can ask extra money from the public for the service rendered. Such earning can be hidden without paying taxes. In the name of politics the so called leaders can do any amount of corruption. The list of our free to do actions goes on and on. 

Until we curtail our freedom to a reasonable extent most of the Indians will never enjoy freedom. We always demand more and more rights but never bothered about our obligations.
This should be the fundamental teaching in the schools if we want to build an India with disciplined citizens.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
