Bharat Radio - example program

Presenter : This is All Bharat Radio. Good morning to you listeners! And greetings on this 56th independence day. We now present to you a panel discussion on “Freedom”. Our panelists are the Honourable Minister Thamizhselvan, our respected Vice Chancellor  Thiru. Ram Kumar and the famous newspaper editor Ms.Sangeetha. I invite the Honourable Minister to express his views first.

Minister : Friends, a very Good morning to all of you. Freedom for me is freedom from foreign rule. We achieved it 56 years ago. I am proud to be a free Indian. Jai Hind!
Vice Chancellor : Dear listeners, in my opinion, freedom means freedom to learn what you like. I am sad to say that India has not achieved this freedom. Let us all work towards it.

Editor : My dear fellow Indians I’m sure you will agree with me when I say that freedom of the press is the real freedom. I am happy to say that we Indians have a free press.
Minister : I feel that our top priority should be economic freedom. Unless rural poverty is wiped out and the majority of people are assured of minimum standards of living, freedom will not mean anything.

Vice Chancellor : I agree with the Honourable Minister in toto. But I would like to add that complete freedom is something not practicable. One man’s freedom is restrained by the need to grant freedom to others. A certain amount of control by the government is unavoidable.

Editor : I am afraid, I can’t agree with my esteemed friend. Freedom is our birthright. Any effort by established governments to encroach upon our freedom should be
resisted by the people. Freedom is essential if democracy is understood as government by discussion in which everyone participates.

Minister : I am with you in defending freedom. We are happy that the architects of our constitution have taken great care to guarantee the fundamental rights to every citizen of India.

Presenter : Thank you very much for being with us and au revoir!
