What do you think of a democracy with freedom of speech but not freedom from hunger? I have my country – India – in my mind. Here we enjoy freedom of speech against the Prime Minister of India and the President of India and many at the top and not against Judiciary on certain issues. If you exercise your freedom of speech against any caste projected politician, or a regional party or a Cinema super star, you will lose your limbs. So here freedom of speech is not universal. But here we have freedom to enjoy wants, hunger and starvation and none interferes in it. You are free to suffer it on your own. A real democracy should have both freedom of speech and freedom from hunger and if people are left to choose one, naturally freedom from hunger will stand to gain. May I know your views?
