It is wrong to take away all the rights granted by the

"It is wrong to take away all the rights granted by the Constitution after the hard-fought Independence. It is a betrayal of the fighters of freedom struggle." — thus spoke M. K. Stalin, a voice of remembrance and warning in the modern age. His words echo through the corridors of history, reminding us that freedom once won is not freedom forever — that the Constitution, born of blood and sacrifice, is a sacred covenant between the people and their destiny. To strip away the rights it grants is to desecrate the memory of those who gave their lives so that a nation might stand upright beneath the sun of liberty.

To understand these words, one must remember the long, bitter journey of Independence — not merely as a date in history, but as a living struggle carved into the hearts of millions. For generations, the people of India bowed under foreign chains. They suffered hunger, imprisonment, and humiliation, yet their spirits refused to break. Their dream was not of conquest or vengeance, but of freedom — the right to think, to speak, to believe, and to live in dignity. The Constitution became the living symbol of that dream: a promise that no tyrant, foreign or domestic, would ever again silence the voice of the people.

When M. K. Stalin warns that taking away these rights is a betrayal, he does not speak lightly. He speaks as one who remembers — who feels the weight of every martyr’s blood and every prisoner’s chain. The freedom fighters did not rise for half-liberty or conditional justice; they rose so that every citizen, rich or poor, Hindu or Muslim, man or woman, might walk in equality beneath the law. To betray those rights is to betray the spirit of Independence itself, to trade the light of self-rule for the shadow of oppression.

Think of Bhagat Singh, who faced the gallows with fire in his eyes, not for wealth or power, but for a vision of India free in thought and fearless in truth. Think of Mahatma Gandhi, who walked barefoot among the poor, carrying not a sword but the power of moral courage. Their dream was not of dominance, but of justice — a nation where conscience could breathe without fear. If today’s rulers silence dissent, or twist the law to bind the people, then indeed it is as Stalin says — a betrayal not of politics, but of the sacred covenant sealed by those who gave everything for freedom.

The ancients taught that every victory must be guarded, lest it be undone by complacency. Freedom is not a gift to be kept; it is a flame to be tended. When we neglect it, when we allow fear, apathy, or blind loyalty to erode the foundations of liberty, the chains return — not of iron, but of silence and submission. Thus, the wise understand that the defense of rights is not the duty of governments alone, but of every soul who values truth and justice.

From this truth arises the lesson of Stalin’s warning: do not let the Constitution become a relic of the past, spoken of with reverence but ignored in practice. Its strength lies not in the paper on which it is written, but in the people who live by it. Speak when others are silent. Stand when others kneel. Question when others fear to question. For the true heirs of freedom are not those who inherit its benefits, but those who defend its principles.

So, children of the future, remember the price of your liberty. Remember the fire that burned in the hearts of your ancestors, and do not let it be extinguished by indifference. Rights once surrendered are not easily regained. Guard them as you would your life, for they are the very breath of your nation’s soul. Let no voice, however powerful, persuade you to trade justice for comfort, or freedom for fear. For when the people themselves stand firm upon the foundation of their Constitution, no force on earth can take their wings of freedom away — and the dream of those who fought and fell will live on, eternal, in the courage of their descendants.
