 Woman in Iran wants freedom from Hijab.  हर्ष वर्धन त्रिपाठी 🇮🇳Harsh Vardhan Tripathi on X: "#Iran की इस लड़की ने #Hijab का #DressCode का विरोध किया है। तंग और बंद दिमाग में खुली हवा का हल्का सा ही सही, लेकिन अहसास तो करा ही दिया। यह चित्र इसलिए भी ध्यान में रहे कि, हमारे यहां किसी को कुछ भी पहनने पर कोई प्रतिबंध नहीं है, लेकिन महिलाओं, लड़कियों को हिजाब में प्रतिबंधित https://t.co/BVTJNUoWLy" / X   लेकिन महिलाओं, लड़कियों को हिजाब में प्रतिबंधित करने के पक्ष में राजनीतिक दल खड़े हो गए थे। हमारे यहां के कुछ विश्वविद्यालयों में ढपली बजाकर फर्जी हमें चाहिए आजादी, नारा लगाने वालों को भी पहचानने की जरूरत है। मौज-मजे के प्रदर्शन से नेता बना जा सकता है, बदलाव नहीं लाया जा सकता। बदलाव के लिए अपने अस्तित्व की चिंता से मुक्त होना पड़ता है।

Habib Khan on X: "This iconic photo is now part of Iranian history, capturing the deep frustration of women with the regime—a powerful statement against repression. https://t.co/UFv2EJLAi7" / X

سعيد الهنائي on X: "@EdgeE50124 @HabibKhanT What warrior are you talking about! She is stripping, she wants to be a whore and a harlot in front of people, and these are the characteristics of animals and not the characteristics of the human being whom God has honored." / X

Nooshie West 🎗️ on X: "@Nuke__Israel @HabibKhanT What a ridiculous thing to say. This girl is making a stand against a repressive misogynistic regime. Women do not "yearn" to be anything other than free." / X

Azat on X: "This Iranian girl is a real feminist, she is fighting for women’s rights against lslamic regime! https://t.co/ClSPsmUTfy" / X

Narges Mohammadi | نرگس محمدی on X: "“Women pay the price for defiance, but we do not bow down to force. The student who protested at the university turned her body—long weaponized as a tool of repression—into a symbol of dissent. I call for her freedom & an end to the harassment of women.” #NargesMohammadi https://t.co/SFpySTQWt3" / X

The Persian Jewess on X: "The indigenous religion of Iranians is Zoroastrianism, not Islam. Muslims colonized the Persian Empire in the 7th century. Zoroastrians were systematically persecuted, treated as Dhimmis, forced to convert and slaughtered. Today only about 150,000 Zoroastrians remain in the https://t.co/8r08H98CIn" / X

Freedom for Sikhs

Gurratan Singh on X: "This November marks 40 years since the 1984 Sikh Genocide. We’ll never forget our brothers, sons, and fathers who were set on fire, nor the brutal violence our sisters, daughters, and mothers endured. The struggle for justice continues. #NEVERFORGET1984 https://t.co/nexMPEIXJN" / X

Sarbraj Singh Kahlon on X: "#WATCH Sikhs for Justice is protesting at the Khalsa Diwan Society Ross Street Gurdwara in Vancouver against Indian consular camps set up to issue life certificates. These certificates confirm the eligibility of Indian pensioners abroad to continue receiving their pensions. https://t.co/8TqUZy4EUt" / X  "These certificates confirm the eligibility of Indian pensioners abroad to continue receiving their pensions.

The process requires pensioners to appear in person at these camps to provide personal identification, proof of address, & pension documents. SFJ alleges in a news release that consular officials are exploiting these camps to monitor & gather info on pro-Khalistan Sikhs through observers acting as proxies, thereby endangering the safety of Sikh activists. Officials at the consular camp declined to comment, while the Gurdwara spokesperson stated they prefer not to interfere in governmental issues."

Freedom from what, and Whom? Young people bring change.

Many people talk about freedom. Some may mean freedom to speak, freedom to love, freedom to misinform, freedom to agitate, freedom to protest, freedom to enslave, freedom to wage a war, freedom to colonize, freedom to hate, freedom to exploit others, including nature, freedom to pollute the air, water, and earth and freedom to rape for sex.

 I consider freedom from conflict to be, above all, freedom. The conflict kills humanity and destroys capital. It should be avoided by all means. The causes of conflicts are poverty, identity, religion, inequality, ego, sex, stomach, greed, grievances, territory, and historical memories.

The question remains: What is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is evil? Opinions in the newspaper, blogs, Tweets, and on Facebook construct hatred and spread disinformation and misinformation. 

President Roosevelt said after World War II "We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression. The second is the freedom of every person to worship God in his own way. The third is freedom from want. The fourth is freedom from fear." Should one trust politicians, who talk the words and interests of elites?
