1) Freedom of expression should not be used to spread messages generated by lust, meanness, prejudices, or ignorance as this can be detrimental to individuals and society. 2) If freedom of expression is interpreted as freedom to spread superficial and petty ideas, especially by those in power, it can fuel violence among the masses who do not have the same means of expression. 3) Violence in the forms of suicides, crimes, fanaticism, and more will continue and worsen if society does not address how freedom of expression is used and instead only debates it without action.

1. FREEOM <br />OF EXPRESSION<br />DR.<br />SHRINIWAS<br />KASHALIKAR<br />When our speech (and behavior) is generated by brazen lust, meanness, vested interests, prejudices, viciousness, vengeance, rage, helplessness, ignorance, irresponsibility, foolishness of falling prey to antisocial propaganda; or in short; our superficiality and pettiness; it is likely to be detrimental to the individual and social life. <br />Hence we MUST exercise the freedom; to; not express it! The laws and consensus ought to ensure such freedom! In absence of such freedom; we MUST exercise our freedom on our own; to practice NAMASMARAN and express the holistic perspective, policies, motivation and implementation conducive to individual and universal blossoming<br />However; if we interpret the “freedom of expression” as “freedom to express; to serve our superficiality and pettiness”; especially with the help of our position, power, newspaper, TV Channels, radio, cinema, drama, advertisements, internet etc; then the masses; who do not have such means to express; are bound to resort to violence; often indiscriminate; towards self or others.<br />This is exactly what is fuelling the violence; in the form of suicides, crimes, fanaticism, fascism, racism, riots, terrorism, proxy wars etc (including CORRUPTION). This violence will continue and in fact escalate; if we do not heed; and simply go on making hue and cry about so called “freedom of expression”; in news papers, radio, TV or internet! <br />
