Jerry Rao : The Liberty Manifesto

Sep 18, 2014

Amartya Sen has made the case that a “great argument” never dies. Even though, on the surface, Arjuna lost the argument of the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna’s dissenting views never completely disappeared. They remained as a subterranean intellectual current and frequently reappeared in different temporal contexts. The arguments made in the columns of the venerable Swarajya magazine, in favour of individual liberties, free initiatives of free citizens, preservation of citizens’ rights, including the right to property, freedom to be an entrepreneur beyond the clutches of an oppressive tyrant state, freedom from the notorious “permit-license raj”, a dispensation that was at times, worse than the foreign raj that preceded it all these arguments did not disappear when Swarajya went into hibernation or when the Swatantra Party dissolved itself.
