Ones life is a result of the choices one makes. If oneself doesn’t enjoy ones life, its time to start making better choices. Freedom is a very powerful two syllable word. Freedom is the right to act, speak, think or believe as one wants. No restraints or judgement should come with freedom. Everyone is entitled to free belief.

He ought, just like modern times, he saw his freedom worth fighting for. After deep thought and consideration, he wrote Viceroy a letter, a very important letter stating the facts of his rules and Gandhi's beloved India.
