Liberalization of Thoughts

Closed minds breed narrow mindset. A well thought anecdote to this statement is the existence of customs & traditions which try to infringe upon the fundamental rights of the citizens & which are ultra vires with the constitution of India. Basically it's about the existence of extremist organizations like khaps & taliban. Existence of divergent view points is a pleasant reality which we must proudly accept. As a growing nation & a maturing democracy, we're yet to arrive at the most relevant interpretation of Article 19 & Article 25 (Freedom of Speech, Religion, Conscience, Thought, etc.). While the Honourable Supreme Court of India has strived to protect the rights of the individuals pertaining to freedom of speech, thoughts, etc. but what we must bear in mind is that it is ultimately we who're responsible for our conduct & it is we who build & create social conscience & morality.
My point of discussing this is not about the legality or what the law should be. But my conviction is that when we're bound by the shackles of self-righteousness we conveniently forget that there's nothing like absolute truth in this world. We can happily disagree with a view point. My firm belief is that we're sometimes too rigid in our outlook that we do away with the opposing viewpoint without giving it a proper thought & a reasonable consideration. In this era of economic liberalization & privatization, it's also necessary that we liberalize our thoughts. By no means I intend to say that we must liberalize our ideology. But we must liberalize our thoughts to the extent that we give opposing thoughts a proper consideration.
I believe that in a pluralistic society such as India, no person can afford to claim of being absolutely true by himself. A relative truth is a creation of prevalent socio-economic & political condition. So it's in the ultimate interest of our society that we build an attitude which serves purpose of the society as a whole & not few rigid minded individuals.
