Problem is that in the absence of an agreement as to the mode of such retaliatory expression, we will continue seeing what you saw at Charlie Hedbo in Paris or with Perumal Arumugan in Tamil Nadu. It is a fallacy to say freedom of expression is absolute only in certain modes and not others. Violence is a means used for expression by many groups, across the world. <br /><br />The reality is that people do get offended. We cannot control such feelings. What we must try to control by providing a legitimate and effective redressal forum is the violent methods being adopted. <br /><br />JayAmbadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126135202327179403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908993162747549850.post-29106102276338610932015-01-15T02:14:19.988+05:302015-01-15T02:14:19.988+05:30Dear Jai, ....With the argument espoused in para 8...Dear Jai, ....With the argument espoused in para 8, it becomes detrimental for expression of any creative idea. An artistic expression or a novel idea may offend one or many, but the right to express one’s idea should not be curtailed. The ones who take offence may express their version of the idea or subject. Civilization, science and human intelligence would never have progressed had creative ideas been curtailed for fear of offending others. Discoveries and new scientific thoughts have emerged and prevailed only after damaging the prevalent beliefs. So, freedom of expression should be unfettered.
