Freedom to say Fuck






Freedom to say Fuck

Fuck is such a versatile word. The inimitable Osho so wonderfully expresses the versatility of this great word in this 'Spiritually Incorrect' talk.



You think fuck is offensive. The fuck, it is! Should it be allowed to say. Fucking yes, I say. Does the law support me. Are you fucking kidding me? If it was allowed, how then the Censors are masking the sound of this word by a beep in all the films. Even the ones aired on TV. Even changing the subtitles of the word, to 'yuck/luck/muck, whatever'.

You say, our constitution allows freedom of speech and expression. Oh yes, the original 1950 one did But the very first amendment in 1951 diluted this freedom. So I can say fuck only if it does not violate any laws passed for-
interests of the security of the State, friendly relations with
foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or in relation to
contempt of court, defamation or incitement to an offence

Is saying fuck decent/moral. The fuck, it certainly is moral. And public order, that vague term, under which pretext all laws prohibiting or controlling freedom of speech have been passed. So under Indian Penal Code, I am prohibited saying fuck if it has effect of spreading communal hate, is against national integration, causes public 'mischief'. And, there are the great censorship laws, with powers to censor board to beep fuck in movies.
 
So fuck this first amendment and fuck the anti-free speech laws and fuck the censor board. Rant ends.
