The Fight for Information

What does one mean by the right to information? Is it unhindered access to information or is it a fundamental right? Truth be told it is a blend of both, the right to information is one of the most basic rights a person can and should be able to exercise and like good exercise if it is hindered the body will suffer. When the body comprises of 150 million stakeholders even a small obstacle could lead to great suffering. At the end of the day the right to information should be the nation's unobstructed entitlement and we are within touching distance of the finish line yet many a race has been lost in the final stride.
