Why Freedom Matters

In this monologue, I want to tell everyone Why Freedom Matters. Since the pandemic has hit us last year our governments worldwide have been clamping down on our rights under the garb of COVID. Do these rules make sense? Have they been successful? How does one measure these things? Simultaneously we have had a systemic assault on Free Speech in India and no one seems to be bothered. Can we just let speech be startled under the garb of hurt sentiments?
