Do you support free speech and free economy?
Do you blame some celebrities and politicians for being so politically correct?
Do you think the one who is straight forward and politically incorrect is very cool and that’s the way it should be?
The capitalist world believes in free economy and free speech. That may be the reason why political correctness is losing its popularity. Today’s global situation has already taught us that there is no such thins such as free economy. It was just an illusion. We are all governed by a few large banks and their super-intelligent policies (pun not intended….).
Similarly, the kind of violence we see against Christians, Dalits, Kashmiri pandits, North Indians and women are actually a direct result of free speech. There seem to be some unwritten rule that we have the permission to hate speech and we can’t get away with it easily since it is very right and cool to be politically incorrect.
The main culprit is us who have given cheers to politically incorrect statements. And we actually think that being diplomatic and politically correct is so boring.
If we analyze properly, no one is actually completely politically incorrect too. This political incorrectioncy is actually subjectively used by their advantage takers. Being incorrect in judgment of what part of political incorrectness can we get away with has damaged Aamir khan (ban on ‘fanaa’) and the south actress Khushboo (who had said that ‘premarital sex is OK but precaution need to be taken’).
I am not unaware of several good deeds which succeeded due to our free speech and one of the great examples can be ‘our freedom’. I don’t have any conclusions like ‘ban free speech’ or ‘take care while free speech’ or ‘being politically correct is the way’!
I wanted to conclude that free speech is OK but it has to have a good deed. But where is the line between free speech with good intention and free speech with bad intention and first of all what are “good intentions”. All this is of very varying characteristics depending on perceptions and so I sign of concluding with no conclusions. . . .
