Freedom of Expression
It is
human nature which demands freedom in all walks of life instead of being slaved
of any kind in the hands of anyone. But fact of the matter is that the system
we live in neither allows freedom of all type to all nor let it remain any one slave
forever of all type. Freedom in true words is not only a power but also a step
forward medium to attain more control, more power therefore one leaves no stone
unturned in order to achieve it albeit different means are taken to get different
types of freedom. Almighty which we call supreme share its freedom in
proportion among its creature making them a bit mighty to run the system. This
is called delegation of authority but irony of this share of power is that such
so called mighty begins to abuse that freedom.
Freedom
of Expression is one of the types of freedom like Individual, Economic, Political, Religious
and so on. All types of freedom play crucial role in surrounding for smooth
functioning of personal and social upbringing.
Crave of freedom undoubtedly play an instrumental role in evolution of society.
Sometimes when this very abundant freedom
goes in the hands of some of ignorant and ambitious persons in our society,
chaos and disorder prevails around that is why reformists among us have been
emerging to give a right direction to the people.
The way some of the
writers have been targeting religion, hurting the belief and faith of people is
tantamount of abuse of freedom of expression. If we look at the recent
statement of exiled Bangladeshi writer she said ‘ I think we should have our
freedom of expression even if that might offend some people. If we do not open
our mouth society will not evolve’. The way some of the writers have been digging
the loopholes in religion having said that their writing will evolve the
society is ridiculous. In fact attack on religion is central them of their
writing, it doesn’t pertain to evolution of society perhaps this is their strong tool to get publicity or becoming best
seller and foremost thing is that the way they drag religion as if they have personal enmity against
religion.
The
real meaning of freedom of expression is to put your views ,your own ideas freely
on your own plate form responsibly instead of citing flaws of religion because
this pinpointing act of progressive writers hurts millions of people who are attached
to particular faith and belief. Of course some loopholes in religions have been
emerging with circumstances and ages which have also been sorted out by the
sages and saints who have been evolving the society though their balanced
preaching within the purview of religious faith and belief. The subtleties of
religion can better be made supple only by those who practices religious
rituals instead of such writers who hardly follow basic of religions. Saints
and sages have also been being imparted power of wisdom with the passage of
ages so that they could produce religion in easy way before the followers who
in case get perplexed on some stage.
Offend and hurt are the common words for the
writers who have enmity against religions. Such
writers find themselves gagged if their freedom to offend are seized. Author
of Satanic Verses said ‘ what is freedom of expression ? without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.' The
way they protest against religion as if they have no specific ideology as to
how to evolve society except criticizing religion and asserting themselves crusader
of better society.
