freedom of creating content

As we celebrate another year of independence, these Reels on social media are a reminder of the freedom creators enjoy while creating content.

Social media is a world of its own with its little treasures that warms our hearts. Every time we scroll through it, we come across someone who offers a fresh and unique perspective on how life can be beautiful. Sure, there are times when we want to scream ‘This is why we can’t have good things’ into the screen because of how problematic and disgusting some posts are. But the good content that ends up on our feeds shows us the true power of social media. In these spaces, we experience the freedom to be our true selves and provide others with reasons to cherish their own freedom. There have been some truly beautiful and heartwarming moments that remind us to appreciate the little moments of freedom in life and we're listing them down for you!

Here are some of our favourites!

Social media has been at the forefront of eliminating all the beauty standards that were enforced on us by traditional media with real stories. The standard and diversity of beauty influencers in today’s time is proof! This Reel by Deepika Anand and Abhijeeth Lakshminarsimhan gives us a cinematic visual of what freedom from this thought of beauty looks like.

People also assume and assign gender to clothes. But this Reel by Agou Hengoulal Sitlhou is enough to answer anyone questioning an individual’s freedom to choose what they want to wear. 

As a country that surprises you with a culture of its own, Nayanjyoti Saikia’s Reel shows how social media provides people an opportunity to showcase their traditions to the world. Despite the varied reactions in the comments, it highlights how everyone has the freedom to celebrate their cultural identity.

People like Mukul are sharing their talents while breaking the stigma around wearing makeup and enjoying the freedom to be their best selves online.

There is nothing more freeing than seeing talents like Ranodip Poddar use dance to emote and make us feel things!

As humans, we always tend to restrict our thoughts to ourselves, but Reels have shown us what it feels like to share those thoughts. Especially this one by Sujoy!

In a country that manages to constantly let women down, it feels exhilarating to watch people like Ashla A smashing the patriarchal idea of a woman and enjoy the freedom to be the most badass version of herself.

Here's hoping we keep coming across many more tiny moments of liberation on social media!
