How many of you have read the stories of our Freedom fighters? How many you think about the sacrifices they endured so that we can breathe in the free air? Most of us, in fact majority of us do not understand the prominence of freedom as we are born into free nations. We can’t comprehend the quest that the real fighters went through to breathe the free air.
Freedom came from resistance, perseverance and selflessness. We were and are born equal, but there had been times when man made his own rules and questioned the rules of nature. Be it the devastating World War II or the disgusting apartheid. Warriors like Gandhi, Martin Luther king Jr and Nelson Mandela has emerged and made possible for us to walk tall.
I’m a biased peace advocate, but when wrong is wrong, it has to be done right in best possible way.
Generally speaking, freedom fighters are seen as people who are using physical force in order to cause a change in the political and or social order. However, a person who is campaigning for freedom through peaceful means may still be classed as a freedom fighter, though in common usage they are called political activists.
Breaking a man bit by bit would never get easier with time, especially when the man make friends with pain. The insanity gave our freedom fighters courage to never give up their will to fight. Indian freedom fighters’ only mission in life was to see their country free from British rule. They did his best and when they was being led to the gallows, they were satisfied that they had lived up to their principles, irrespective of the consequences. The only thing that probably made them sad was that they couldn't do more for their country.
I agree that living up to one's principles is the way of life regardless of the consequences. It is indeed a differentiating factor for the stronger in our society.
