A Meaningless Right

I have an article in The Times of India arguing that the “freedom of expression” is a meaningless right without private property rights. Where these rights are not protected, as in India, many find their freedom of expression violated - like the dancing ladies of Mumbai.

    Very well written & to excellent point. Shows that an issue if thought from a different angle looks very different indeed.

    Good work.

    your reference to the ‘dancing ladies of mumbai’ brings the issue of ‘morality’ to one’s mind. but india is one country where hipocrisy is rampant and so is the misconception of morality. indians are too arrogant about their culture and heritage which they want to protect at the cost of depriving the citizenry of the freedom of expression and a square meal a day.
