Freedom Is A State Of Mind

As I sat with my office colleagues, in a darkened theatre hall in Vashi, and watched Rang De Basanti for the second time, I enjoyed it every bit as much as the first.
No surprise that it’s running at full house for so long. Rehman’s rousing musical score, the flawless editing and script, all told a story that today’s Indian deeply connects with.
For our youth, jaded by the harsh realities of life in India, Rang De Basanti is like a blast of fresh air. It shows us, albeit in a far-fetched manner, that we can make our own reality¦ create our own freedom.
For today the demons we have to fight are no longer flesh-and-blood white guys, Englishmen who colonised India for hundreds of years¦ but the demons in our own mind.
And freedom to the youth of today means freedom from prejudice, bigotry, religious hatred, caste, exploitation lies, bribery, greed, insecurity and other corruptions of our own mind.
It’s a freedom worth fighting for, but until we look inside ourselves and cleanse our mind of these evils, freedom will always be an illusion.

Yes, freedom is a state of mind because we have to think about freedom first before we can make any decisions about how to achieve it. Once we have decided we want to be free we still may not have the legal, political, monetry or emotional means to achieve it, but we can still achieve freedom in our own minds. You are what you believe to be. It starts and ends like this.
