Free speech just serves degenerates and cultural vandalists. Theres a difference between Hindus engaging in philosophical debate and left wing degenerates attacking peoples faith/history/family and inbred Muslims calling for Jihad against polytheists. The latter should be beat in public and have their heads caved in.
Freedom serves anarchists and terrorists because its political weakness and apathy. India needs to stop worshipping this degenerate western system of democracy, individualism, liberalism, & freedumb. Our ancient history was one of order and standards. Compare China to the degenerate western system and you’ll see how great freedumb really is.
Great survey of ideas. I had just gone through a graphic introduction to political philosophy yesterday and it was refreshing to read Hobbes, and Locke in much more detail.
I would differ on two things, though I may be pedantic.
1. I don't think there is any real hatred towards Indians across the world. Most of the people whom I know visit abroad, even in the Middle East have very good reception and most foreigners, thanks to the very malleable and genuinely good behaviour of Indian immigrants, like Indians for their humility, niceness, and helpfulness. Much of the drama is likely due to the way people behave on social media.
2. I don't think there was limited freedom of speech/thought in the ancient India. I think, because of our extremely diverse culture since ages, people learned to tolerate each other and much variety of thoughts were possible and this is exactly why we had elaborate writings and traditions of atheism (non-belief in Vedas) in ancient India. And I think this still prevails, you can go in rural India and claim to be an atheist and even abuse hindu gods, people will not disregard you for most parts (unless you do really offensive acts like kicking idols, in that case you may get beaten), which was not the case, even in the States 30 years ago.
You do "Shastrārth" that's different. Satirical critiques but based on some contracts & framework are also present such as in "Sarva-Darshan-Sangraha" between Vedic accepted Panthas & Sampradayas & others vs Nāstikas(Buddha, Jain etc).
Charvaka openly called Vedas fraud but he wasn't beheaded, but his ideas debated & refuted by dialectics such as by Adi Shankara like figures.
Desecration, sacrilege of idols etc is work for Islamic invaders marauders - why would any Hindu bearing name even do?? That's violation of NAP(Non-Aggression Principle) & should be penaltied. Liberty ends where other's property begins as Locke remarked too.
that was exactly my point. charvakas could survive finely in ancient india and indians still have those tendencies of tolerance, even indian muslims to some extent.
i do think kicking idols should be penalised and it already is. i was emphasizing that you can claim to not believe in god even in the most remote areas and you'd still be fine as long as you don't directly disrespect others
