Anant Mahadevan:
"The freedom that we are cherishing today seems to have come at a very high price. It is like buying a very expensive thing and realizing that you'd have been better off without it. I remember Lord Mountbatten's words while leaving the country when he said that the citizens of this country would be taxed even for the air they breathe in the future.

Today we are all victims of a non-functioning and indifferent system governed by self-centered politicians who are busy filling their own coffers at the cost of the masses. It is like saying that we are free but there is a bigger enemy within, who is killing us everyday. If this is the kind of freedom we were seeking, we'd have been better off with the British Raaj."
