Published On: July 30, 2017 10:16 AM NPT By: Republica

Baliram Yadav 6th Semester Freedom of speech is about speaking what you want without being criticized. Even a five-year-old should be allowed to speak what s/he thinks.

However, we can see that people will support or join someone who speaks. I’m the first of my family to pursue bachelor’s degree, but even I struggle to voice my ideas among my family members. I struggle to convince my parents to try something new. Instead of blaming the government for everything, I think we should start speaking and connecting with more people to make our voices heard. Our opinion can reach a mass if we socialize more.
