250 years ago- Ordinary british citizens arrived on our coast in ships and armed to the teeth. they had gun powder and guns. No licence and no royality to the Monarchy. Even after independence for the last 50 years we cannot keep guns, without the Governments approval. We do not have the liberty to save our near and dear ones from others and the state machinary. We have to suffer all injustice done to us like cattle. What is absolutely legal in most of the nations becomes a crime in India. In USA Sanjay Dutt could keep a dozen guns without anyone having any interest in them, but in India where technically we are free but in reality we are slaves of the system, owned and controlled by our corrupt politicians. Only the ownership has changed, we are still slaves and second rate citizens of this planet.
