A MASTERPIECE FROM JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI ON FREEDOM. THE AUTHOR SAYS ABOUT THE CHAINS IN WHICH THE PRESENT MAN LIVE,ABOUT HIS FEARS OF THE KNOWN AND FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. HE EMPLOYS A WITTY SARCASM AT THE WAY IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE READY TO ACCEPT THE IDEOLOGICAL TYRANNY OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS WHEN THEY ARE NOT READY TO ACCEPT ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DICTATORSHIP.
