Intellectual freedom is a fundamental human right from "summary" of Why I am an Atheist by Bhagat Singh
The ability to think freely and express our ideas without fear is a basic right of every human being. It is through intellectual freedom that we can explore new concepts, challenge existing beliefs, and contribute to the progression of society. Without this freedom, our minds are shackled, and our growth is stunted. Intellectual freedom allows us to question authority, challenge dogma, and seek the truth. It is the foundation of progress and the driving force behind innovation. Without the freedom to think for ourselves, we become mere puppets, controlled by those in power. In a society where intellectual freedom is suppressed, dissent is silenced, and conformity is enforced. This leads to a stagnation of ideas, a lack of critical thinking, and an erosion of individual autonomy. It is only through intellectual freedom that we can truly exercise our rights as human beings. Throughout history, those in power have sought to suppress intellectual freedom in order to maintain control over the masses. They have used censorship, propaganda, and intimidation to silence dissenting voices and maintain their grip on power. However, it is only through the free exchange of ideas that progress can be made and society can evolve. We must fight to protect our right to think freely and express our ideas without fear of retribution. We must stand up against those who seek to suppress intellectual freedom and defend our right to question, challenge, and explore. It is only through the exercise of this fundamental human right that we can truly reach our full potential as individuals and as a society.
