It’s As If We Got Freedom as a Gift!

Kangana Ranaut, seriously? You open your mouth and out comes this gem: India’s freedom in 1947 was “bheekh” alms, a handout and the “real” deal only hit in 2014 when your precious Modi took the wheel. What a load of absolute, steaming rubbish! It’s as if we got freedom as a gift, you say? Like the British just tossed us a bone out of charity, and we should all bow to 2014 like it’s some divine reset? I’m a Kannadiga who’s had it up to here with this nonsense, and I’m not swallowing it not from you, not from anyone.


Blood, Sweat, and a Slap to Your Script



Let’s get this straight. Freedom wasn’t a gift it was ripped from the jaws of an empire by people who bled for it. My Karnataka alone gave us warriors like Kittur Rani Chennamma, who fought the British in 1824 when your “alms” were still a pipe dream. Bhagat Singh dangled from a noose, Gandhi marched till his feet cracked, countless Kannadigas like Mailara Mahadevappa, who died charging colonial guns in 1943 poured their lives into this. And you, Kangana, waltz in with your Bollywood swagger and call it “bheekh”? Were their graves just begging bowls to you?


I’m no history professor, but I know 1947 wasn’t a picnic. The Partition carved up millions 15 million displaced, a million dead, blood soaking the soil from Punjab to Bengal. My village elders spoke of it fear, loss, but also hope when that flag went up. You think that’s alms? That’s sacrifice, you tone-deaf diva. And 2014? That’s just an election your guy won, great, but don’t rewrite history to prop up your fan-girl script.


Kannadiga Grit, Not Your Fairy Tale


I grew up in a Mysuru village red earth, paddy fields, my grandmother’s Kannada lullabies. We didn’t beg for jack. Our kings Tipu Sultan, the Wodeyars fought invaders with steel, not sob stories. Kannada’s 2,000 years old, a classical tongue that’s outlasted empires, and we’ve never bent the knee to anyone’s “gifts.” When I moved to Bengaluru’s IT mess, I carried that grit not some 2014 fairy tale. You think freedom started when your idol strutted in? Tell that to my ancestors who didn’t wait for a savior they built their own.


And don’t get me started on your “real freedom” nonsense. What’s freer now more jobs or more noise? I’ve seen cobras in my yard scarier than your logic. My kids almost got brainwashed by an RSS guy once division’s still here, Kangana, not some golden age. You’re not liberating us; you’re insulting us.


Shut Up and Sit Down


Here’s the rant’s core: you don’t get to trash 1947 because it doesn’t fit your narrative. Freedom wasn’t alms it was a war won, a price paid, a nation born. I’m no monk to stay calm about this, no saint to forgive it. I lost a love once who’d have torn your words apart urban-sharp, rural-true she’d have laughed you off the stage. Me? I’m just a Kannadiga who’s done with your delusions. It’s not a gift if it’s soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. So take your “bheekh” and shove it freedom’s ours, not your prop. Please Sit down, Kangana. You’re embarrassing yourself.
