On the advent of 60th year of India’s inauguration as a republic, let me show you how slavery is still looming on Indians under the head of collectivism.
Indian constitution ascertains certain rights for all Individuals of the country. It has been explained many times that not a single right provisioned in the Indian Constitution can be maintained without recognizing the right to property as the fundamental right.
If you want to express freely, you need your own property premises to express, if you are a nudist and you wish to dance nude, you may do it in your home, or in a membership club which allows you to enjoy and express yourself freely at a certain charge. If you wish to roam naked freely on street, it certainly is not possible as street is not your property.
Indian Constitution does not recognize any sort of property rights and that is why the basic natural rights are not achievable for Indians, India recognizes certain rights based on emotions rather than reason.
As for example, a painter certainly have a right to paint, yet he do not have right to paint whatever he want. He has to be sure that his painting may not hurt any other person’s religious, moral or any other sort of emotions. If he fails to take care of various kinds of rational/irrational emotions of various kinds of people, he can be attacked and brutally beaten and the government in place of securing that painter’s or writer’s or actor’s right to express, will force him/ her out of state/country, because if he lives in India, it hurts the emotions of certain sect of Indians. it happened in Mangalore, Karnataka this time
On the eve of 24th January, about 15 to 20 activists, allegedly connected to Sri Ram Sena, entered forcibly into a private-pub late on Saturday night and assaulted boys and girls dancing there, accusing the teens of behaving in an “obscene manner”.1
Obviously, it was hurting their emotions and hence the boys and girls had no right to enjoy party and dance.
People and especially Government2 may try to colour this incidence as a result of religious dogmatism and an assault on democracy, but it is not so.
The basic problem is the lack of importance of Individual freedom and right to property in India and Indians. The attackers had no respect for the property right of the owner of the pub who allowed the young boys and girls to party. The attackers had no respect for the right of the boys and girls to express themselves and entertain.
Indians actually do not recognize the right of free speech and expressions.
Just some months ago, an Orkut user Krishna Kumar Vaid3 faced severe situation of imprisonment for nearly 5 years and fined up to 1 lakh rupees if found guilty. He was accused of scrapping some message against a political leader.
Thus, for a victimless crime, he was threatened of imprisonment and monetary fine, although numerous rapists and murderers are never punished (Afzal Guru).4 Yet, as Indian rights are based on emotions, a person cannot say that He hates a particular leader, because that may hurt the fans of that leader. So if I do not like Shahrukh Khan, I cannot iterate it on net, otherwise some Shahrukh Khan fans may attack me or sue me too.
It is democracy, the tyranny of majority over minority, the individual being the smallest minority.
Until Indians will not understand and recognize the Importance of property, and property rights, they will not be able to possess and enjoy any right because property right is the fundamental right.
Now when we have seen that even at the 60th year of inauguration of Republic of India, Indians lacks any Individual rights and are slaves of emotional whims of rulers and tyrants, let us dwell upon the constitution for a while.
Indian constitution provides certain directive principles. I would like to discuss Article 21, Article 38(2).
Article 21—Protection of life and personal liberty—No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.
Article 38(2) —The State shall in particular, strive to minimise the inequalities in income, and endeavour to eliminate inequalities in status, facilities and opportunities, not only amongst individuals but also amongst groups of people residing in different areas or engaged in different vocations.
If Article 21 provides Individual freedom/personal liberty for a citizen to endeavour his best for his betterment, progresses, and profit, which obviously is his natural right, how can the state try to equalize the income of all?
We must understand that STATE DO NOT PRODUCE OR CREATE WEALTH.
Inequality of wealth and incomes is an essential feature of the market economy. It is the realization that the consumers are supreme by giving them the power to force all those engaged in production to comply with their orders. It forces all those engaged in production to the utmost exertion in the service of the consumers. It makes competition work. He who best serves the consumers profits most and accumulates riches. The efficient and better worker earns more than the lazy and naive worker, one who produces more gets more value it is the natural order.
In an examination of maths, one who is better in maths and works hard gets more marks than the other who is not at all interested in maths. How can the teacher make marks of the entire students equal?
The teacher can do so by destroying education.
The idea of providing equal income for the Honest, skilled hard working labor and the dishonest, naive, lazy labor itself is corrupt and farce. It is Individual’s liberty to work more, work better and smart, gain more profits, and be rich. If he is forced to remain equal to naive, unintelligent lazy worker, than it is exploitation of the hard worker. Thus, Article 21 and Article 38(2) are contradictory.
As state always tries to follow Article 38(2), it is bound to loot exploit and harass Individuals. Those who suggest that state should try to improve the lazy or naive so that they may increase their productivity equal to the superior workers, forgets that the superior workers will also strive for further betterment and improvement. Hence, without exploitation, equality is not possible. We are not equal biologically, and we can never become equal. Since government forcefully tries to make us equal, we all are slaves and not free Individuals, and our society suffers from corruption, discontentment, exploitation, forgery, frauds, scams, reservations and all other traits of Socialism and communism
Since Indian constitution stands on the corrupt ideals, India faces maximum corruption and Immorality.
I will discuss more of Indian Constitution and the falsehood of Constitutional premises further in this month of celebrations of Indian Republican.
As a borne Indian, it is my personal will to make India a free nation, a nation of free individuals, and I will keep striving for it always, and the first step towards a Free India is to accept that India is not Free, nor is the Indians are Free.
“Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.”

January 27th, 2009 at 5:13 pmTo be honest, the collectivist concept of a ‘nation’ is in direct opposition to the idea of individual liberty. Libertarians are trying to take the middle road(lesser of two evils) by accepting the idea of a nation while championing individualism.
In anycase the overwhelming majority of people still want to live in a nation,still identiy themselves by a religion/caste/race.
Just proves that people will sacrifice individual liberty at the cost of apparent collectivist security.

I think you are right. Human can’t live alone for long time and they do need social approval and security for most of the times.

January 28th, 2009 at 8:45 amYou are thinking of liberty in mostly economic terms, and yes in that sense India (and even the US) is not free. However the Constitution does allow for the development of other freedoms, political and social. I think you should be a bit relativist when thinking about the Indian Republic and Indian society. When the Constitution was adopted India was a caste-bound and gender-biased country. It still is, but less than 60 years ago. And a lot of the credit goes to the Constitution. Keep in mind that due to the caste system, not just individual rights but the rights of entire communities were suppressed. So freeing communities was the first step, it has happened to some extent, freeing individuals has also happened but it is not prioritized in the current politics of India.

January 28th, 2009 at 1:55 pmI am not relativist, I am objectivist.
There is no freedom if there is compulsory TAX.
Watch Lagaan again.
There can be no freedom if there is reservation. it is anti-Humanity-rights, anti-human-freedom.
