Individuality

I was recently a part of a group discussion and the topic being "Indian Education System".I mean like any sane person would,I gave my opinion about the matter and had a healthy discussion.At the end of the session I was given a feedback by the person handling the GD.I was actually told not to speak out sentences which aren't "Politically Correct", so to speak.Then whats the point of a GD if all you are trying to do is say something that is widely accepted but as a fact everyone knows that its not true???I mean why are we always told to please other people???Why are we to behave like we owe them anything?? Like we have to keep them happy??Why can't I be myself and say what I feel is right?What's wrong in it??? A lot of people may oppose what I'm saying right now,may feel is a bit too strong.But thats precisely how I feel. The world has come to a state where we have to measure everything that we say,where we can't be ourselves. If only everyone would take the step to be themselves and speak their mind out by thinking clearly, the world would be a better place.
