    A woman is lying in a hospital bed, sensing that her life is coming to an end on India's Independence Day. She wants freedom from the agony, torture and life she has endured, having experienced traumatic events like the Babri Masjid demolition, Gujarat riots, and being raped. On her potential last day alive, she expresses two wishes - to coincide her freedom from life with India's freedom, and to be reborn in India, a place that was once safe and where freedom could be enjoyed without fear. As India celebrates its independence, the woman notes that her first wish was granted and she has gained her own freedom through death.

    AND SHE GOT HER FREEDOM

    DATE- 14TH AUGUST 2013 19: 47 PM 4 Hours 13 minutes more for my Last Independence Day. Now, how can I be so sure that its my last day on the planet? I wont be committing suicide. I am not that weak. But I want freedom, freedom from agony, freedom from torture, freedom from life. Sometimes you can sense your end. I can sense it. Being born in post independence liberalised, globalised and privatised India, I havent seen the tricolour unfurling in the Red Fort for the first time, havent seen the partition and havent seen the emergency. But I have witnessed the Babri Masjid demolition; I have witnessed the Gujarat riots and I have also experienced the RAPE of my body, withering of my soul, and the slow death of my spirit to live. Lying in a hospital bed in the capital of the country, I dont have the strength to fight death. I just want my freedom from life to coincide with the freedom of the country. May be my last wish will be fulfilled. No wait. I have a second wish. I still wish to be born in the same country which gave me everything I wanted in life until that fateful night when I was returning home a bit late after watching a movie. I just wish to be born once again in India A India which is more secure and where freedom can be enjoyed in a true sense without any fear. Two wishes of a dying woman. God cant be crueler to me by denying my chance to live life once again in the way I wish. 15TH AUGUST 2013 00:00 AM India is celebrating her freedom and I have got my freedom. God granted me my first wish. May be my second wish will also get fulfilled.
