What I mean that we have individual freedom. We must use this freedom in a right way else this leads to problems for society. Civil society means our behaviour cannot efect the society. We want enjoy but in a good manner;we must responsible with society. We have invidual freedom along with we must behavie & responsible for society.

I think the India is a mixer kind of society where the veriety of people live and built the society. A society is necessary for human life because g man without society will be like a beast. If he has some sorrow or happiness its the society where we go first. Any kind of physical, financial problem to which most of the people faces regularly can b easily short out by the society people. Now the society are modern and they are not interfere anyones personal matter. Just like a tiff between husband and wife. At last society is important because if your neighbour got set fire then if you are saying that its none of my buisness then that fire may come to your door also.

How far are we able to use our right to freedom? I agree that government has given us the right but its only up to a certain extent. We are being harassed by the social barriers. Every thing we do is interlinked with the society. If we start doing anything new, the society is not ready to accept it.
For example if a widow is trying to get remarried, the society starts poking her as if she has done some harm to them. Man is just a social animal but can never enjoy the real power of right to freedom and speech.

Individual freedom and Civil Society share a symbiotic relationship. They are very much interconnected. We have freedom of expression, freedomof speech but that doesnt mean an individual can do anything which can jeopardize the society. Same goes with the society, too many restrictions tend to burden a person which may lead him to become a rebel in the near future.

Individual freedom is a matter of choice. It is up to the individuals how he or she wants to live his life. But the moments too much of leeway is provided it might become detrimental to the interests of society. Similarly if the society is too rigid on things like what people should do and what not the individual freedom can help the society amend such impositions. In the end what matters is how much balance is struck between individual freedom and civil society.

In a democracy every has a right to freedom, right to state his mind but we should not forget that as we live in a society, we do have a duty towards society (as it is famously said "with power comes responsibility". I think it is necessary to maintain that balance for smooth running of a country.
Like the recent National Counter terrorism Center (NCTC) it has been given a right to raid any place on its will.
Lastly, I feel a individual is given necessary freedom in a democracy but we also have a responsibility towards society, which in long run is going to help us.

Individual freedom is necessary in a democracy with a right mixture of rights and duties. Every individual has the right of speech and expression as long as he maintains the duty of not going aganist the values upon which the civil society is built, like culture, religion e. T. C.
Also it is necessary for the civil society to understand and accept the freedom of speech and expression of individuals.
We have seen the case of Salman Rushdie, the late M. F. Hussain, Taslima Nasrin who have been denied the right to travel in their homeland due to threats posed by religious fundamentalist groups who refuse to give any consideration to their rights.
It was a sad fact that India has lost a great international artist, M. F. Hussain, who passed away while he was on an exile in the Middle East for painting scantily dressed Hindu mythological figures which angered Hindu fundamentalists.
Earlier during the Rushdie visit controversy, several Muslim leaders had gone on record saying that they would pay 1 LAkh to people who hurled a stone at Rushdie.
Taslima NAsrin was attacked on several ocassions by Muslim supporters and many threats are still posed on her life.
THese uncivil acts should be put to an end and we must be encouraged to live in an environment of mutual respect and tolerance between the individual and society.
It is the individual's duty to uphold the values of his diversified, multi-cultural society and the society's duty to support its individuals and educate him to do the above.

Individual freedom means right to apeak,express feelings,etc &these are the things that a constitution provides to us.Civil society is a body in which an individual exists & society has some rules which a person has to follow but society must also take care about an individual.This is b'coz both have to live together & go together as 2 lines which meet at same point.

Everyone has a freedom but it's upto the person that how he takes it or how he utilises it.If we give freedom to a small boy and let him do what he wants then he can't be a good citizen for sure and we can't expect that also, because if we don't teach him something he won't get anything and do what ever he likes.
freedom should be given to a person who will utilise it in proper way and won't cross the limits.freedom must be given to choose the correct way to perform the responsibility towarts society.
Girls must be given freedom to live their life how they want to live it but all the above conditions are also for girls to be followed.
In case of choosing lift partner all have the power to choose that and that shouldn't be restricted by any one if both don't have any problem.
As a conclusion i want to say that we all have the freedom but we shood choose the write right way to proceed in the development of our society and it should be in limit!!!!
