Freedom is a very popular term that is related to many meanings. It is one thing which perhaps everybody wants and yet the very fact that everybody wants it makes it impossible that each one gets it to the extent he wants it. Daya Krishna (1924-2007) argues that the problem, at least at one level, is not so much of freedom as of freedoms. We have seen that one’s freedom seems to be essentially limited by the others and thus, nobody can be free. The focal point of the present paper is to analyse and evaluate ‘Are we free to choose?’ Through this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the perspective of Prof. Daya Krishna on the mentioned topic, namely, ‘Are we free to make our own choices in life?’
Key words: Freedom, Choice, Free, Society, Daya Krishna
