Looks like you are new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I stumbled across this op-ed/feature on TOI which rues the invasion of commercialism into supposedly pristine notions like freedom. [TOI]

Isn’t this is a classic glass half full or half empty case? The writers of such articles should be looking at the amount of economic freedom everyone has, instead of griping about how everyone else is spending their money. Freedom has been turned into an overused cliché by political readers and so-called “intellectuals”, into something that involves token acts like puffing your chests in pride and waving a flag.

Being in a society and market that affords you more freedom than most countries in the part of the world that surround you, what is more patriotic than celebrating it by giving back to the economy that brought about a lot of these changes in the first place?
